Ward has arrived to fill the position of Swine Specialist of the Extension Service vacated by Edwin Houston, Mr. breeder, resigned. graduating from A. and M. in 1910, and is also seeretary-treas- of the ' Association. Speaking of his visit to Bell county, Mr. Ward said: “I had heard so much about the in- terest in hogs in Bell county that when I accepted the position at A. and M. I asked if I might not begin work there with those people—com- ing that way to look over the situa- | tion and see what they really had. I must confess that I am agreeably surprised. They have and I am sure other counties have the right sort of pure blood stuff and lots of it, and just to keep on going to it is all that is necessary to make this section the hog center of the south in a few more years.” urer Texas Swine Breeders | In company with Demonstration | Agent Mervin, Mr. Ward visited the (leaders of every pig club in the county except the one at Rogers, and that club would have been vis- ited if the roads had been passable. Further discussing the hog in- dustry, Mr. Ward recalled that there is no reason why the south should not lead the north in hog raising, since there are many natural ad- vantages in this section not enjoyed in the north, and he further stressed the probability of the heavy demand for meat for the next several years— due to the shortage brought on by the war. He observed, however, that there is always a ready market (with high prices) for purebred stock, re- gardless of whether it is hogs, cat- tle, sheep or anything else. ee One half of all rubber imported to this country goes into automobile tires. the lumberman and the local lani- owner. On the second day a more general program will be carried out, consisting of discussions upon such subjects as the acquisition by the Federal Government of forest lands for the production of timber, as well as for the protection of streams; state forestry organizations and pol- icies; forest fire prevention; the re- lation of grazing to timber produc- tion on non-agricultural lands; the future of the naval stores industry, ete. The program for the third day has not yet been outlined, but it will nrobably be given over to sectional meetings, or to field excursions, or both.” ATEN CHANGES ARRIVES HERE | College Station. . \ Ward is a Lamar county hog | IN THE BASKET- BALL SCHEDULE Athletic Office Announces Unavoid- | able Changes and Gives Points | | | | on Games Below is a copy of the revised basketball schedule for the season: 9-10—Baylor | Jan.

A. and M. and Louis- iana were very anxious to arrange at least one and probably two games but Rice was unable to play Louis- | iana on the dates that Stroud want- | ed to bring his team from across | the river, and because they could not make arrangements for other games the A. and M. games were cancelled. All the games except the Simmons College game are Conference games and count in the standing for Con- ference honors. For the mid-week dates the time of the games will be 7:30 p. m., so that the cadets can get back to the dormitories by 9 o’clock. For most of the Saturday dates a double- header will be arranged if possible, the A. and M. Scrub team playing in the curtain raiser. The big game on Saturday nights will be called at 8 o’clock and the curtain raiser at 7. Season reserve seats are now being sold and are going fast. By getting a season reserved ticket one is pro- tected for all the games and is in- sured of a seat, no matter how large the crowd may be.

Married students are re- quested to bring their wives, and single ones their lady friends. This will be a business meeting.

Few people can picture Woodrow Wilson, the President of the United as a football coach, or as a college professor leaving his classes to act as a cheer leader for the stu- dents. But there are some Weslyan men of the late 80s and early ’90s who will probably always vividly remember him in this capacity. As professor at Wesleyan from 1888 to 1890 he made his mark in | Wesleyan football and with the aid | of Seward V. Coffin, ’89, and Frank | D. Beattys, '85, a New York publisher, | worked out a new system of offensive | tactice which placed Wesleyan on the | football map. Football tactics un- derwent a great change about that time and these three men mapped out a scheme whereby the rush line was constructed so that the men stood side by side, about as today, while the backs were brought nearer to the rush line. The quick line plunge and the double and criscross passes, were also worked out. Football, of course, was in its infancy in those days, and while these plays seem old now, they were considered innovations at that time. So well did Prof. Wilson and his assistants succeed in their work that Wesleyan walloped the University of Pennsylvania, while William Henry Hail of South Willington, later a State Senator, brought further re- nown to Wesleyan by sending a drop kick over the Yale goal posts, thus making five points for Wesleyan, a field goal counting five points in those days. Amhurst was trimmed by the 1889 team, 39 to 0, while Trinity was taken into camp, 6 to 0. John W. Edgerton, now secretary of the faculty at the Yale Law School, was a member of the Trinity eleven. On October 30, 1889 the Wesley- an team won a notable victory over Williams. Hampden Park in Spring- field was dedicated on that day and these two teams were selected to play the opening contest. Irving Garfield, son of President Garfield, was in the Williams line-up, but the Purple went down to defeat, 20 ta 17. The good news was telegraphed back to Middletown and when the [team arrived late that night the whole college as well as many of the | townspeople, were at the railroad station to meet the boys. Governor Coffin at that time a State Senator, whose son had been assisting Prof. Wilson with the coaching, bought fireworks for the “crowd, and’ there are some oldtimers in the city who remember the celebration that invited. night, even to the present day.
