EVER Y A AND I MAN A BRAVI SOLDIE: R NO SON OF COLLEGE FLINCHED UNDER FIRE OR DISCREDITED ALMA MATER IN ANY WAY, ASHBURN SAYS Il. WW. Major Ike Ashburn, for three years publicity secretary of the C who has recently retur a year’s service abroad, where he w as | twice wounded and cited for bravery in action, was given a cordial welcome upon the occasion of his visit here Tuesday afternoon and night and im- mediately after supper he addressed a meeting of the corps in which he discussed largely the records of A. and M. men in France and Germany and the accomplishments of the Nine- tieth and. Thirty-sixth divisions, made up largely of Texans and QOklahom- ans. “I followed the records of the A. and M. men in the military service Major Ashburn declared, “and I have known none of them but who was a credit to this institution. I never saw one of them quibble or quail at anything and no one of them flinched under fire. I saw sev- eral of them killed, including Sam Craig, Charles Hauser, Romeo Cox and Capt. Herbert Peters, all of my regi- ment, and all of them died like true soldiers, as T am sure all of the other forty or more who gave up their lives in the service did. “One thing that impressed me in rance was the fact that spirit counted | for even more than efficiency. The American troops went into the big conflict with high spirits and a de- termination’ to win and they did not Inow when to stop..Nothing so thrilled me in all my experience in the service as the spirit with which these men set ut what they had gone to F'rance to 13 sollege, and ned home from | T % Loh oo in this connection Major Ashburn ed that many of the students of the | Collone today are not in uniform and expressed the hope that lack of uni- formity in dress would not mean a LO: (Continued on page 4) LARGER ATHLETIC PROGRAM IS ~ PLANEND TRAINING OF GREATER NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN VARIOUS FORMS OF SPORTS CONTEM- PLATED NEXT YEAR Plans looking to a larger athletic program for next year which will re- ‘sult in more general athletic, training of the students of the College, and, consequently, more available material for the various College teams, were discussed yesterday morning at a pre- liminary conference in the president’s office, attended by the athletic com- the several representa- mittee of the Faculty, coaches, and the athletic tives of the student body. A number of matters affecting the relationship of physical education to athletic training in the College were discussed and steps were taken to in- crease the facilities for this larger work and to encourage the largest possible interest in physical educa- tion and other forms of athletic train- ing next year. Commenting upon the results of the conference President Bizzell said: ( “Athletics has a very important place in College life. It was not expected that results in the way of winning games would measure up to the stand- ards set by last year’s teams. War conditions have made this impossible but it is my belief that both the coaches and the teams have done ex- “ceptionally well under all the circum- stances. There is every reason to ex- pect the College will turn out very unusual teams next year and under present plans a much larger num- ber of the students will participate in the various forms of athletics than ever he Pw President Bizzell will go to Houston tonight to deliver an address before | the Men's Fellowship Club of the First Baptist church.
