By C. N. P.These are the times that try

men's souls, mainly because it'sbanquet time again. This is thatglorious time of the year whenevery organization in school de-cides to have a banquet comme-morating the end of the year. Be-cause of the profuse number ofbanquets we, the co-authors ofKnight Life, present our BanquetPdmer for all the unlearned mem-bers of our school.

BANQUET PRIMERTypes of Banquets:

1. The most common type ofbanquet is the fillet mignon ban-quet. This is the banquet whichusually costs $2.50; one gets asteak the size of a quarter.

2. The second most common typeof banquet is the chicken banquet.This banquet takes many forms:it may he fried chicken or steamedchicken or barbecued chicken. Allof these types of banquets havetheir problems. With the friedchicken banquet one is always indoubt 3:S to, whether to eat themess with one's fingers or one'sfork. The problem viith the steam·ed chicken banquets is the largegloubles of fat that constantlydrop on your lap. Knight Life re-commends that ,y'ou don't even goto a steamed chicken banquet.

The problem with the barbecuedchicken ·banquet is that the bar-becued sauce rjrip3 down your chinto the new white coat you justbought, then it drips on yourwhite shirt, ll,n.l then on your ·silktie. It's wise to shy away from thistype of banqaet too.

3. The third and last type ofbanquet, is the roast beef banquet.This is the most desirable of theban'lUets. There is only one prob-lem with thi;; type of banquet:when one cuts his meat, the veg·etables slide off the plate, and thegravy is always cold. Oh, yes, thereis one other problem with the roastbeef banquet; you always end upwith a cold piece of roastheef.which sticks to the roof of yourmouth like a tick in a dog's ear.

'rhis typ.e of tanquet. presentsthe least amount of trouble for'the diner. The Baml'u,et Primer,re'!ommEnds of course· . that one:not even attpnd ::tr.y banquet. Itis our opinion that the person,involved in the banquet would;have a much b(~t.t:er· time sitting:at home eating .. 'rv· Dinner andwatching. KLBJ's ,great line-up of,programs.

Austin's Tippy Newton playedan important part for the Maroonsby winning the shot put and discusthrows. McCallum did not place ineither event.

Throughout the meet the Ma-roons dominated all schools inevery event except the 100-yarddash, won by Cory Collins of Mc-Callum; the pole vault, won byCarroll IGingamen of Travis; andthe 440-relay in which the Rebelsset a new record of 44.2.

Tommy Smith 0 f McCallumplaced second in the one-mile runbehind Austin's darkhouse FrankRozales.

In the "13" division the Knightspiled up a total of 31 points com-pared to the 76% of Austin andthe 52% of Travis.

in Austin it'sDACY'S For Shoes

The fortunes of sport are in-deed strange, especially in Aus-tin-for example, the city trackmeet held at House Park. Tommy

Smith, whose fine 4:39.5 effort atVictoria had put his name On the

list of Texas' best schoolboymilers, looked like a cinch victorin the city meet. The local papereven termed Tommy as being "ina class by himself." But StephenF. Austin's Frank Rosales, whomTommy had previously beateneasily, had too much stretch kickand came home with the win in a4 :42.4 clocking.

In this same meet, Travis's Car-los Ollison appeared to be perhapsan even surer winner than Smithhad. In fact, Ollison has looked tobe of true top-notch calibre in hisrace, the 100-yard dash. But theRebel senior suffered a slight mus-cle strain in the finals of the Citymeet, and lost out ·to McCallum'sCory Collins. Cory, by the way,turned his best performance of theseason as he won in a 10.3 timing.

But track isn't the only sportwhere odd things have been hap-pening. W'e are speaking of theshock therapy administered to theKnight baseball team by pitcherSkipper White and the Stephen F.Austin Maroons. The Maroons andWhite not only shut McCallum outfor the first time this year, but al-so slapped the Knights flush inthe face with a no-hitter. The nextnight, McCallum faced an Elginpitcher with the same basic "stuff"as White, I.e., a slow curve, andpounded the unfortunate Wildcatwith ten hits and five runs.

Although the Maroons have look-ed exceptionally strong in their
