SHEEP SHOW AT
FORT WORTH Id
| BEING PLANNED
| 4 J. M. 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.
STUDENTS ARE
INTERESTED IN
TREATY FIGHT
Favor the Ratification of the League
and Treaty Without Reservations
or Amendments.
On the face of returns in the Treaty
Referendum being tabulated yester-
day evening when the Bulletin went to
press indications were that approx-
imately fifteen hundred votes were
cast. They were running three to
one in favor of Proposition I, (I
favor the ratification of the League
and Treaty without reservations or
amendments). Of the other three
the vote was heaviest for Proposition
IV.

$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.
