Col. E.M. House

There isn’t often cause these days to recall the time when men’s collars still turned up instead of down. Nor Edward House, of Galveston, who President Woodrow Wilson referred to as his "second personality." But it all came together this morning, for the old kingmaker of Texas gubernatorial politics, as workers began to cover the colonel’s old horse pasture with Astro Turf. It was the latest facelift for the field that, in 1937, became House Park, a celebrated Austin stadium for the Friday Night Lights of high school football.
