GONGRATULATIONS
GALVESTON.
The Galveston Aggies constitute
the third A. & M. Club to decide to
hold weekly meetings. They have
held three so far and they have been
good ones. Incidentally the A. & M.
fever in Galveston is spreading.
There are -a few towns in Texas
that are larger and have more A. &
M. men than does Galveston who are
not meeting weekly, some of them
are not meeting regularly at all.
They would do well to watch the
growth of the Galveston club. You
are going to eat down town some-
where every day of the week, except
Sunday, why not pick one day to
meet with your old A. & M. friends.
Yes—Galveston has Kiwanis, Ro-
tary, Lions, and the other luncheon
clubs, too, and the Galveston boys
have just as many calls as you have.
Continuity is a wonderful force in
the growth of attendance at meet-
ings and functions. Try it out and
watch the interest grow in A. & M.
not only in your Aggie group but
throughout your high school and
elsewhere.

FOUNDRYMEN OF TEXAS
WILL HOLD MEETING
AT COLLEGE IN JUNE
The Texas Foundrymen’s Associa-
tion will hold their quarterly meeting
at the College in June, accepting the
invitation of Professor E. J. Fermier
extended them at their Dallas meet-
ing held the first of the week.
Professor Fermier attended the
meeting at Dallas and enjoyed sev-
eral novel entertainment features
given to the visiting foundrymen by
the steel interests of Dallas. His in-
vitation to the foundrymen to visit
the institution at their next meeting
and inspect the methods of instruc-
tion and equipment of the Depart-
ment of Mechanical Engineering was
quickly and heartily accepted.
PROFESSOR H. E. SMITH
DIES IN CALIFORNIA
Announcement of the death of
Professor H. E. Smith, for many
years profesor of steam engineering
in the Mechanical Engineering De-
partment of the College, has been
received by Prof. E. J. Fermier, head
of that department. Prof. Smith
died at his home at Redlands, Califor-
nia, on Feb. 22. He resigned his
position at the College two years ago
on account of ill health, and moved
to California, where it was hoped
that he would be restored to his full
strength. His son, Ralph, was a stu-
dent of the College until this fall.
Prof. Smith was at the College for
a number of years. At one time he
had charge of the steam plant in
connection with his teaching duties.
COVER ALL FIELDS
Summer
sourse which will be held the latter
7 DIS Wd.
“No game—wet field,” will not be
heard at the football grounds at Kyle
Field. Work of tile draining the foot-
ball playing field has just been com-
pleted by the San Antonio Sewer Pipe
Works.
Of course no football game ever
was cancelled because of wet grounds,
but a flying tackle ofttimes has look-
ed like a swan dive following a heavy
rain at College Station. To offset
this condition the Athletic Council de-
cided to tile drain the field in order
that it will be free from water imme-
diately following a heavy downpour.
AGGIE FOOTBALL FIELD NOW |

"The plans for the drainage were
worked out by the Agricultural engi-
neering department and the contract
let to the San Antonio firm.
The work has been completed. The
field has been plowed deep in order to
break up that packed dirt which had
brought about a lack of “porousness”
in the soil which would permit good
growth by grass. The field has been
covered with fertilizer and will be
levelled and rolled. By fall there
should be a good sod and the Aggie
playing field should become one of the
best in the South.

HOUSTON A. AND M. CLUB.
(By Bill Cook)
Seventy odd ex-Aggies answered
roll call at the weekly luncheon of
the Houston A. and M. Club, Friday,
March 21. The program was headed
by P. L. Tilson, of the Houston
Laboratories who proved beyond a
doubt that the older they grow the
peppier they get. It was one of th?
best of the many good meetings the
Houston Club has had since its re-
juvenation.
A. F. Dickerson of Schenectedy,
N. Y., was a guest of the occasion
and told of the organization of an
A. and M. Club in New York State.
Dickerson stated that in his wide
travels over the country he met A.
and M. men in almost every town and
they all held positions of responsibil-
ity and were doing well.
There was quite a little debate
among the bunch as to what form of
entertainment we should have on
April 21st. Some of the fellows
whose shoe sizes fall below number
eleven wanted a dance, but the old
country boys who went barefooted
too long to ever acquire the art of
successfully maneuvering a pair of
oversized pedal appendages over a
waxed floor without bringing disaster
to less than half a dozen pretty
pumps, held out for a country pic-
nic.
The picnic fellows won as there
are more country boys in this town
than you can shake a stick at, but
they are not selfish. We are going
to have the picnic and the dance
combined. The Houston A. and M
Mothers’ Club has been invited to be
our guests and Houston school grad-
uvates will also be invited.
Ii any of you fellows from other
parts happen to be in the Bayou City
on that day, April 21st, look up or
call up Dr. Kyle, Tom Blake, Ralph
i Soape, Graham Hall at the Bristol
‘Hotel, or any other A. and M. man
in Houston and tell him that you
‘want to go to the picnic and you will
be cared for. The place hasn’t been
| definitely decided upon, but we will
MHI INE OF Radi ty
NOTES FROM SAN ANTONIO
CLUB.
(By Bill Orth)
San Anton'o Aggies will maeat
April 21st, and if you are in town
for the Fiesta and Battle of Flowers
call on George Knox or Runt Hanson
or anybody you know for the de-
tails, you will be cordially welcomed.
The committee (Runt) is trying -o
decide whether to have a stag affair,
or to let the ladies in. And if it's
a stag party the question is to make
it a barbecue or just an old time
“keg-rolling.”
Did all of you get the Aggie calen-
dar? It is worth using and a con-
stant reminder of the activities of
the school and our Association—and
note payments. The roster of the
Association members will be equally
as welcome and valuable. Let’s help
Ike in making it complete and up-to-
date.
Remember that ‘here were five S.
A. Aggies on the football squad?
Well there are four more of ’em
playing baseball now, Captain Jack
Forgason, his brother, Big Jim, Puck-
ett and Jack Williams.
Speaking of baseball, Tim Griesen-
beck catches, “Lefty” Matthews
pitches and Pat Dwyer plays first on
the champion semi-pro club of these
parts, same being the Alamo-Peck In-
dians. They will take on the Dallas
Victory-Wilsons for a “serious” later
in the season.
Seven students from the Alamo
City were listed as “Distinguished”
for the past term; can any of your
North Texas lads touch ours on
scholarship and athletics?
Bob Orth writes that the New York
bunch enjoyed a fine meeting with
Dr: Bizzell and Charlie Friley just
before they embarked for their Eu-
ropean trip. Among those present
were Fred Bechert and William Rus-
sell Forsyth (Cop 2nd) and others
that we want back in Texas before
they become full-fledged Yankees
Bob recently made a trip up into
New Hampshire where he got his fill
Snow.

We wished for Ike Ashburn and
Parson Church at our A. and M.
luncheon at Frio City, March 14th.
When I say we, I have reference to
Andy Rollins, Nagle, Witt and Rol-
lins, Houston; Otto Tumlinson, coun-
ty agent, Frio county; N. H. Hunt,
secretary Chamber of Commerce,
Pearsall; E. R. Alexander, Vocation-
al Educational Dept. A. and M. Col-
lege; R. H. Brison, Vocational Agri-
cultural teacher, Pearsall; Bill Cook,
I.-G. N. railroad. We had for our
guests of honor L. F. Merle, Secre-
tary Chamber of Commerce, Dilley
and Mr. Cory, farmer at Dilley.
It wasn’t our intention to hold a
luncheon but dinner time found us in
this village, which was the county
seat of Frio county some forty years
ago, and you know what dinner time
means to an Aggie. The menu didn’t
have much variety and it did not re-
of New England scenery, beans and | %
quire a French interpreter to read it.
It consisted of sardines a la can anl
U-Need-a Biscuit en carton. Dinner
was served in front of the old stone
‘court house which is now used as a
store.
Andy Roll'ns and Otto Tumlinson
were the princ'pal speakers of the
occasion and strange to say their
talks all ran to subjects on eating.
Andy told of the time when the br'ck
ice cream disappeared from the rear
porch of the president’s house when
President David F. Houston was en-
tertaining the bachelor Profs., and
how, for some reason, the night
watchman chased him over the larger
part of the campus until he lost him
in the labyrinth of hallways in old
Foster Hall.
Otto said he used to amuse him-
self every morning before breakfast
by watching Prof. Garner check up
on his fine Plymouth Rock hens and
subsequently try to find the missing
hen. Otto did not say why it was
that he was always on the lookout
for this daily checking up. Otto also
told of the successful ruse worked
upon Fritz Kazmeier’s night watch-
man at the newly established college
poultry farm and thus secured the
pedigreed eggs for scrambling with
R. E. Turnage’s homemade sausage.
But I decline to testify further for
fear of self incrimination.

D. C. MARSHALL HAS
PAINFUL ACCIDENT
Word has been received by J. T.
McNew, of the Civil Engineering De-
partment, from his father at Ranger,
of the serious injury sustained by D.
0. Marshall, special architectural stu-
dent here, for three years ending in
’23, who has been teaching manual
training and serving as assistant
coach at Ranger this year. Thurs-
day, March 13, Marshall was con-
ducting his class in manual training,
when he struck his right hand against
a big saw, used for instruction pur-
poses there. His fingers and half of
his thumb were cut off by the saw.
At last accounts he was doing nicely.
