This group was given a final mark of distinction Thursday night when they were entertained at the dinner table by their own teachers, the head of the department and the deans of the College. After the dinner the first prize winner was announced and he was presented with a valuable chemistry handbook to better assist him in his continued work in this line and to remind him of the success that was his in beginning his college course. The book was presented by Dr. C. C. Hedges, head of the De- partment of Chemistry and Chemi- cal Engineering, after the winner had been announced for the first time by Professor M. K.

Preliminaries in the Southwest Con- ference athletic meet were run off yesterday afternoon with some of the best track and field men in the his- tory of track in the South participat- ing and those who placed will be seen in the final events of competition this afternoon, furnishing some of the mose thrilling contests ever witness- ed Probably the largest concourse of lo- in this section of the country. cal people and visitors ever assem- bled on Kyle field with the excep- tion of football games will be on hand. Jim Reese of the Longhorns and Poth of the Aggies, two men with- out an equal in the south will run their last time today as representa- tives of the two great state institu- tions. Other stars who will have the honor of competing on the track that will be given a new distine- tion by their performance today will be Higgins of Oklahoma A. & M., reputed to be the best dash man in the Missouri Valley Conference, and who will match his speed against Poth in both the 100 and 220. Gauntt of Baylor against Hoggard of the University of Texas will be another spectacular event. Gauntt is holder of the Conference record in the high jump, while Hoggard has bettered that heighth in a recent meet, clear- ing the bar at 6 feet and 1 inch. An admission of $1.00 for reserved seats and 50 cents in the rooting section will be charged to defray the cost of holding the meet. This amount does not go to the Athletic Department of A. & M. but accrues to the Conference. For that reason it is necessary to make a charge and not include it among the games for which a blanket admittance is charged by the Department.
