THE BATTALION 11 meet New York University on No vember 16. * * * The Arkansas Razorback football stock dropped the past week when “Tiny” Gardener, 265 pound tackle, announced that he was quitting school. It’s a good thing for the Ag gie Fish that he quit, for it would probabjy have taken all the Fish class to carry him off the field. * ❖ * Coach Ray Morrison has inaugur ated a new plan at S. M. U. Last, week he sent several of his football players all over the state to scout rival conference elevens in action. Wonder what the boys gleaned from our little walkaway over the Kan sas Ags. ? Sounds funny, but the motto at S. M. U. this year is “beat the Texas Aggies on Kyle Field, as bad as they beat us in 1927.” They had better alter it a little and make it read “try and score a touchdown on Kyle Field.” This humble scribe would like to wager the Main build ing that they couldn’t score 39 points in ten football games on Kyle Field.

Preparations for a great year in 1930 are already being made, for fifteen former high school grid cap tains have enrolled as freshmen in Frogland. Besides these, there are numerous other stars from high schools all over the state. Two clever ends who won all- state berths in 1928 are included in the flock of stars. Dan Salkeld, former Abilene wingman and a scin tillating performer, is perhaps the outstanding gridder out for the team. He is closely followed by Madison Pruitt, who captained the W'aco Tigers from an end post last year. There are four former high school grid leaders out for the pivot po sition, coming from Ranger, Lufkin, Fort Worth and Onley. Five captains are battling for guard and tackle po sitions. 3 are from Ft. Worth, one from Commerce and the other hails from Weatherford. Only -two of the galaxy of stars are backfield men, one being from Sunset high in Dallas and the other from Diamond Hill in Fort Worth. The Aggies are not blessed with such a wealth of high school stars, and never were, but football players are made here. For instance, Joel Hunt wasn’t good enough to make the Waco High team at one time, you know, and he turned out to be a fair football player. PROPOSED ENGINEERING DAY. Some rather protracted discuss ions have been held lately between the heads of the engineering de partments and among the members of the various engineering societies i-egarding the initiation of an A. and M. Engineering Day, a day to be set aside for technical demon strations in which each engineering department will participate. Most of the large colleges throughout the country have such days, and several of the largest schools devote an en tire week to their engineering dis plays. A. and M. is certainly capa ble of succeeding in such an endea vor, and with the cooperation of the students and the interest the in structors are showing this aspira tion may soon become a reality. The engineering societies and the in dividual students are urged to dis cuss the furthering of this plan with their instructors. *:«]IIIIIIIIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIillCIIIIIIIIIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIIIIC]lllllllllllIC3llllllllll>:« 1 YE MOSIC SHOPPE “ Newest Records | Victor - Brunswick Phonographs. | Needles and Repairs 3 FOSTER S:illllllll|[]||lllillllllUIIIIIIIIIIII[]IIIIIIIIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIIIIC<« WELLGANG it’s on to Fort Worth!
