AGGIES MEET AGGIES
HERE THIS WEEK-END
Brilliant Veteran Team of Oklahoma
A. & M. Come for Pair of Games;
Locals Have Advantage.
Showing a greatly improved condi-
tion in their last game with the Rice
Owls on the local court the past weck
the Texas Aggies are awaiting the
appearance of Maulbetsch with his
veteran quintet at College Station
Friday and Saturday with eagerness.
As a formative affair to keep them
in the fighting trim to which he
has fitted them Bible gave his team
a strong practice game with the Aus-
tin College Kangaroos last night and
they will have one of the most strer-
uous training periods of the season in
the next two days while tantalized
with the thought of meeting the
strongest aggregation in the Confer-
ence as their next contenders.
The Aggies are to have an advan-
tage in their contact with the Ok-
‘lJahcmans in that the northern Ag-
gis will come to College Station ic
their first game without a single day
of rest following two successive en-
counters with the Owls on the Hous-
ton court. The shift from their ig-
loos of the Oklahoma prairies to the
warm, balmy recesses of piney Hous-
ton should impair the northern Ag-
gies somewhat. The long trip also
will be a test for them, and the Owls
should meet them with a much better
chance of victory than the Longhorns:
had in striking the Oklahomans in
their northern retreat. Then add the
wear of the two contests in Houston
to the long road trip and the severe
change of climate to another weari-
some daylight trip from Houton to
College Station and face the visitors
with a fresh team, enthusiastic over
two recent conference victories and
conscious of a constantly improvirg
skill and you cannot but concede the
Texas Aggies a considerable advant-
age for the coming games. For this
reason the Farmers may be expected
to make a much better showing
against the brilliant team of the
snow washed prairies than could be

ORDERS WILL BE TAKEN FOR
LONGHORNS THIS WEEK
Your captain is coming to see you
‘onight and he is coming in a good
cause. Ususally the term “gooc
cause” means a donalion. Not sc
this time! You can expect the fai
exchange which is recessary to nor-
mal economic conditions. Your com
mander is going to ask you for a de-
posit of two dollars on a five dollar
book that is well worth its price: th
LONGHORN of 1925. You will find
your College in the pages of this
book, its purpose, growth, a cross sec-
tion of its organization, and its wit
and humor.
Or, should you feel the pressing
need of a more elaborately finishec
picture of College, make the same two
dollar deposit and tell the captain to
sign you up for the De Luxe copy
which is selling for $7.50. The De
Luxe edition has the added attrac-
tion of a padded book, silk lining, gilt
edges, and marker. The name of own-
er will be embossed in gold on the
front. cover of the book.
You will notice that for $5.00 you
get a book which is a combination of
art and human interest covering your
College life while you have, or wil
often pay that amount for a book
which covers one subject and is of
use in only one class. Make some
calculations on that basis and ‘sub-
scribe to a 1925 Longhorn!

BIG ADVANCE ORDER
FOR BOOK BY DEAN
Dean Kyle Highly Complimented in
Letters Accompanying Orders;
To Appear Jan. 20.
Evidence of the great need for in-
formation and guidance in the devel-
opment of the pecan industry of the
South is seen by E. J. Kyle, dean of
the School of Agriculture in the in-
sistent demand for copies of the book
on “Pecan Culture” of which he is
coauthor. He has received 150 or-
ders for copies of the book from
eight different states which have
come from the announcement that
the book would be published on Jan-
uary 20. Most of these purchasers
in placing their orders declare that a
book covering the entire field of pe-
can growing has been the greatest
need of the industry for several years.
In his contribution to the book
Dean Kyle worked two years and
brought into his work the experience
of twenty-two years as professor of
horticulture of the A. & M. College.
For the past eight years he has
taught a complete course in pecan
culture, the only college course in
the world devoted exclusively to the
science of pecan production. Election
of this course by students has increas-
ed from two in the beginning to fifty
in recent years. And from this course
has come men who are most prominent
in the dissemination of pecan enl-
tural information and demonstrators
of the science in Texas and other
states today. County agricultural
agents in three of the leading pecan
producing counties of the state today
are graduates of this course. Also
there are several agricultural agents
in counties where pecan growing is a
secondary but very important produc-
tion, and managers of commercial and
private orchards who derived their
training from the course taught by
Dean Kyle.
The best students in this pecan
course are given the opportunity of
practical experience in connection
with their college class and field lab-
oratory work by being assigned to
