EX-STUDENTS FOUND
IN HEARTY ACCORD
Colonel Ashburn and Coach Bible Meet
200 Exes in Meetings in Four
South Texas Cities.
Full accord in the athletic program
of the A. & M, College by the ex-stu-
dents in South Texas cities was dis-
covered by Colonel Tke S. Ashburn
and Coach D. X. Bible in their tour of
the past few days. They returned
yesterday feeling that there is moral
support in the ex-student body and
no feeling of destructive criticism as
a result of athletic reverses in the
past two years. They addressed in
meeting and conversed in personal
contact with about 200 of the exes in
Galveston, Houston, Beaumont and
Port Arthur.
They made the trip in the Associa-
tion car and were able to cover the
territory in a period of three days,
going first to Galveston Sunday, then
returning to Houston Monday at noor
for a luncheon, and reaching Beau-
mont that night for an evening meet-
ing. Colonel Ashburn then left on
an emergency call to Austin, and
Coach Bible proceeded to port Ar-
thur the next morning and met with
the group there. He then returned
to Houston in the car, where Col-
onel Ashburn re-joined him and they
returned together to College Wed-
nesday night, They reported about
60 present at Beaumont, the same
number at Port Arthur, 50 at Hous-
ton and 30 at Galveston.
In no instance did they find a bel-
ligerent attitude toward any mem-
ber of the athletic department of the
College. They encountered the old
Aggie spirit of fight and desire to
win but in every case those most
ardently desirous of intercollegiate
success for the school were loyal to
the present regime at College and
did not insinuate any desire of revo-
lution to attain the desired end. After

present athletic program which calls
for an extension of physical train-
ing to all classes of students for the
dual benefit of giving the individual
