Jones of Experiment Station In Charge of Exposition Division When the gates of the Southwest- "ern Exposition and Fat Stock Show swing open at Fort Worth on March 6, it is expected that the greatest display of sheep ever gathered at a Fort Worth Show will be stabled in the Sheep Division. Such is the dee- laration of J. M. Jones, Chief of the Division of Animal Industry of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion, who has been appointed man- E ager of this division, and who. is working hard to make it a great ex- position of sheep and goats. Manager M. Sansom, Jr., of the ~ Southwestern Exposition and Fat ~ Stock Show, has worked tirelessly "in an effort to bring the sheep show up to the same standard with other sheep shows in connection with the greatest live stock shows in the coun- try. It has been largely through his efforts, Mr. Jones says, that the pre- mium awards for each of the breed- ing classes of sheep have been in- ro. ad wi and rr {3 creased from $85.00, which was of- | fered at former Fort Worth shows, to ~ $206.00 this year. Another change ~ made by the management which will be welcomed by sheep breeders of the country is the inclusion of all the farm breeds of sheeep with equal premium awards. Premiums are of- fered on the following breeds: - Rambouillet, Merino, Shropshire, ~ Southdown, Hampshire, Oxford, " Dorseto, Cheviot, Corriedale, Lincoln’ Cotswold, Leceister, Romney, and the Karskul. Liberal premiums have ~ been offered on registered Angora goats and mileh goats. This classi- fication is identical with that offer- ed for breeding classes of sheep. Special premium awards will be made by several of the registry ~ associations. Dwight Lincoln has of- ~ fered a $50 “Lincoln Special” to go i to the breeders exhibiting the best bE flock of registered Rambouillets. In ~ the fat sheep department liberal in- ~ creases have been made in the premium classification. Swift and Company have offered $300 to be paid to wethers in fat car load lots. These prizes will be designated as “Swift and Company Specials.” ~ Mr. Jones declares that Texas of- fers the greatest outlet for stud rams and ewes of any state in the Union at ~ the present time and it is expected | that many exhibitors will be in at- © tendance this year. He has also ex- tended a special invitation to new exhibitors to join in making the Southwestern Exposition and Fat ~ Stock Show one of the greatest sheep ih ‘shows in the country.

PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR FAT STOCK SHOW Steers, Wethers, Hogs, and Horses Are Receiving the Finishing Touches of Care The Animal Husbandry depart- ment has in preparation for the Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show to be held in Fort Worth March 6 to 11, a large number of Hereford, Shorthorn and Aberdeen Angus steers, Poland China, Duroe Jersey and Tamworth barrows, Southdown and Hampshire wethers; Percheron and Morgan horses. The exhibit will be one of the largest and best that has ever gone from the College. The Junior class in Animal Hus- bandry is in training in competition for membership in the stock judging team which will represent the Col- lege at the Southwest American Live- stock Show in Oklahoma City which comes just one week before the Fat Stock Show in Fort Worth. The In- ternatiosal Steck Judging Team is not eligible for this honor, thus it is necessary to train another for this representation. This Junior team will have as com- petitors in judging at the Oklahoma City Show Arkansas University, Ok- lahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, and several other institu- tions from other states which have not been sending teams previous to this year. The final selection of the team, John C. Burns said would be made the latter part of February. The Dairy Husbandry Department will not make an exhibit this year because of financial conditions. To make and conduct an exhibit there is costly and Professor Ridgway stated yesterday that he had no available funds for the expense.

AEE 90 $30,000 AUTHORIZED TO BE SPENT ON COLLEGE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING Board of Directors Authorizes Improvements and Additions to be Started Immediately. ERR Y.M.C.A. AS IT WILL LOOK WITH Thirty thousand dollars in im- provements and additions is to be spent on the College Y. M. C. A. im- mediately. This was authorized at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Association Monday afternoon. President Bizzell is e¢nairman of the committee which has been vested with authority to proceed with the work. The largest improvement planned is the addition of a third floor, actual construction of which will be start- ed as soon as material and labor can be obtained. Minor alterations on the second floor of the building are also ‘planned, which when completed will be a large reception hall. The board was reorganized at the meeting Monday, Dr. Bizzell being elected president, A. Mitchell seere- tary and Dr. C. P. Fountain treas- urer. An executive committee com- ADDITION OF THIRD FLOOR posed of these same men also was elected, and has been designated as a Building Committee to superintend the construction of the third story. Mr. Mitchell reported that all in- debtedness on the building as it now stood had been paid off, and that there was a surplus of about $350 in the treasury. The meeting was at- tended by Dr. Bizzell, Ervin Astin, Webb Howell, B. Youngblood, W. A. Sanders, A. Mitchell and Mr. he nemeyer. That part of the third floor which will be directly over the chapel prob- ably will be divided into rooms, elegantly equipped, according to present plans. The front part of the third floor will be a large confer- ence room. The dormitory will be used for the entertainment of the board of directors of the College, and other special guests. A dumb waiter will connect both the second and third floors with the kitchen in the basement. NEW FACES SEEN IN A.&M. BASKET- BALL LINE-UP Coach Driver is Working on His Idea of More Speed in the Line Even at Expense of Weight. A. and M.’s chance for a champion- ship in the Southwest basketball Con- ference was strengthened last week by the addition of Bryan Gouger, who made his T in basketball in 1917. Bryan played at guard at that time but is at home at the forward posi- tion being a hard, fast floor player and a good shot for the basket. He handles the ball well and is hard for an opponent to stop. Although not as large as some of the other basket- - ball men he promises to be a great help both in offense and defense for the rest of the season. He will be seen in the line-up Saturday night ‘against Simmons. From the present outlook, this year’s A. and M. basketball team will be the smallest in the last five years. Coach Driver believes in speed and then more speed, and the fastest men on the court are smaller than the men of last years team which only averaged 155 Ibs. Another probable change in the line-up is Glezen to guard in the place of Williams. The captain of the band has been sticking close and play- ing hard and getting into the spirit of the game better every day and this is his first year out for the first A. and M. team.
