In addition to con- ducting, he appears in several bril- liant solo numbers. Miss Violet Falk, the popular American contralto, is appearing with the orchestra, and her work has at- tracted wide attention throughout the West.

With 1921 football history made, the basket ball season triumphantly started and progressing in a manner satisfactory to the athletic manage- ment, attention is now being turned to baseball at the College and the first steps taken toward fitting the Col- lege for competition in the 1922 col- lege baseball race are encouraging conclusions that the sports officials intend that the Aggies shall continue the improvement that they have shown on the diamond for the last few years. A very encouraging prospect for baseball at A. and M. is the employ- ment of Eugene Cocreham of Lock- hart by Head Coach D. X.

For the last two years Bible has been employing Paul Sentell to as- sist him in early baseball work, but Sentell has never remained through- out the season.

One of his best recommenda- tions as a coach of college men comes from his success in coaching * | the Lockhart team, which has won the semi-pro championship of South- west Texas for the last two years. Cocreham is at present the proper- ty of the Houston club of the Texas
