TOOK PRE-MED
WORK AT A.& M.
Many of State’s Leading Physicians
Laid Foundation For Their Train-
ing at Aggieland
ALL .ARE SUCCESSFUL
W. W. Maxwell Writes of Present |
Day Students at University of
Texas Medical School
Recognition of A. & M. College as
a pre- -med training ground is spread-
ing very rapidly according to Wil-
liam W. Maxwell, ’19, now a junior
in the University of Texas Medical
School at Galveston. That training
at A. & M. is exceptionally helpful,
preparatory to the long uphill climb
for medical degree is Maxwell’s be-
lief.
And justification of that belief is
found in the invariable success which
follows the practice of medicine by
A. & M. trained men. Take the doc-
tors in any city and find an A. & M.
man there and he measures up to the
best of them.
The Aggie would like to receive
names of former students of the Col-
lege who are practicing medicine.
We can account for a large number
but not all by any means. The class
taking pre-medical studies at the Col-
lege is growing constantly and the
College is giving greater recognition
to the needs of those men who ex-
pect to study medicine. Effort is be-
ing made to fashion a pre- -medical
course which shall be exceptionally
helpful to them.
Maxwell graduated in agriculture
in the class of ’19. His home is at
Austin. He is an active member of
the Galveston A. & M. Club and has
responded liberally to the Associa-
tioil program.
In addition to those whom he
enumerates who are engaged in the
practice of medicine may be included
Dr. W. H. Luckett, New York City;
Dr. J. Allen Kyle, Houston; Dr. U.
P. Hackney, Dallas; Dr. O. T. Bundy,
Marlin; Dr. B. C. Ball, Fort Worth;
Dr. John E. Quay, Waco; Dr. L. F.
Bland, Dallas; Dr. K. C. Knolle,
Brenham, and all the other Knolle’s
in medicine.
Here is the letter from Maxwell:
Nearly every year for a great many
years some few of the men after fin-
ishing A. & M. realize that they are
on the wrong path to success. They
have decided to start all over and
willingly go through four years of
mental toil to prepare themselves for
the medical profession. They all

SPRING FOOTBALL TRAINING
IS NOW
WELL UNDER WAY
More Than Eighty Candidates for 1924 Team Are Getting Instruc-
tion in Fundamentals of Game. D. X. Sets Fast Pace.
If November workouts in football
are any more strenuous than those
being given now to some eighty odd
‘aspirants by Coach Bible and Johnnie
Pierce assistant coach, Heaven help
the candidates. Immediately after
his return from New York where he
attended the annual meeting of the
National Football Rules Committee
D. X., started spring football train-
ing.
More than eighty men responded
and. from now until the close of the
scholastic year the football candi-
dates will be given intensive training
in football fundamentals.
Handling the ball, receiving of
punts, tackling, blocking, spinning,
side stepping, change of pace, charg-
ing—everything that goes into the
technique of successful football will
be poured onto the bodies and into
the ears of the candidates through
the spring months. A little later
actual serimmage will be indulged
and Bible hopes to be able at the be-
ginning of the training season this
fall to start right off with plays and
offensive and defensive instruction
for the entire team. All of the work
with the individuals will be done in
the spring insofar as possible.
With the help of Johnnie Pierce,
who is proving a valuable man in
football as well as basketball, and
with the addition of Claud Rothgeb
to the coaching staff Bible will have
ample help to take care of all men.
This year Johnnie did not know the
men and was not nearly so valuable
as he will be next season. Both Roth-
geb and Pierce are familiar with
Bible’s system and even Rothgeb will
know some of the football talent al-
though most of all the football men
here at the time of his relation with
the College are gone.
The Aggies will start the season
with nine letter men. Of that num-
ber Hardman, guard, lettered year
before last but failed to letter last
year. There will be Captain Louie
Miller, a back, Clem T. Pinson, a
back, Fay Wilson, back, Allison, J.
N., end, Dansby, N. J. tackle, Forga-
son, J. Y., guard, Irwin, Barlow,
guard, and Waugh, C. A, a tackle.
In addition there will be a number
of promising men left over from the
squad and a great deal of good talent
from the freshman squad.
As has been the case for a number
of years the critical point with the
Aggies will be at quarter back. Bi-
ble will have four candidates for that
position. All of them are young and
promising but not any of them have

RELATIVES OF FALLEN SONS OF A. & M.
WILL ATTEND MEMORIAL DEDICATION
Hearty Response Meets Presi-
dent’s Invitation to be Guests
of College April 21.
GOV. NEFF IS TO SPEAK.
Day to be Crowded With Im-
pressive Events Honoring War
Dead and College.
Indications are that the closest rel-
atives of all of the fifty-two A. and
M. men who died. in the service during
the World War will be present when
the memorial honoring those men and
the part played by the A. and M. Col-
lege in the war is dedicated. Presi-
dent Bizzell wrote to the parents or
closest relatives of each of the fifty-
two War dead urging them to be pres-
ent April 21st when the memorial is
to be dedicated.
Special places of honor will be pro-
vided for them and some especial en-
tertainment for them will be provid-
ed that day by the College.
The memorial has been shipped and
should be ready at least a week in ad-
vance of the dedicatory exercises. Col.
C. C. Todd, commandant, and Dean
Charles Puryear, acting president, are
now completing the plans for the pro-
gram.
Work will be scheduled as usual
during the morning hours at the Col-
lege in order that visitors to the Col-
lege may gain a good idea of the scope
of the work offered by the institu-
tion. There will be no duty in the
afternoon other than that connected
with the dedicatory exercises.
The cadet corps, which now num-
bers more than 1700, will be massed
at the memorial. This memorial will
be centrally located on the spacious
lawn West of Guion Hall. It wil be
the key to the landscape development
which is being worked out by F. W.
Hensel, professor of landscape arc
tecture. At present very little will
be done towards the development of
this lawn as it is desired to see where
the burden of the demand for walks,
ete., will occur. A walk will be laid

WIN ALL FIRST PLACES.
S. M. U. Garners Only Four Seconds
In Contest. Aggies Meet Bay-
lor at College Next
Anderson’s Texas Aggies decisive-
ly defeated the Mustangs in the first
conference meet at S. M. U. Satur-
day afternoon, winning the dual con-
test, 105-12, allowing the Mustangs
only four second places.
Poth, speed merchant for the Ag-
gies, was the high point man of the
meet with two firsts and a second.
He took the century and the 220 and
won second place in the broad jump.
His time on the century was 10 1-5
seconds, while he navigated the 220
course in twenty-two seconds flat.
Allison, Aggie football star, is giv-
ing promises of setting a new con-
ference record in the javelin. Alli-
son’s record in Saturday’s meet was
177 feet 2 inches, only a little be-
hind the record set several years ago
by Dietrich, also an Aggie.
S. M. U.’s twelve points were got-
ten from second places in the 220
low hurdles, the high jump, the high
hurdles and the shot-put. Morrison
was high point man for the Mus-
tangs with six points.
Davidson clipped off the 440 in fair
time and must be given credit for
running one of the prettiest races
ever seen in this part of the country.
He has a long stride and runs with-
out apparent effort. The pole vault
record for S. M. U. was shattered in
Sautrday’s meet. It had formerly
rested at eleven feet, but the two
Aggie contestants cleared the bar at
eleven and a half feet, near the con-
ference record.

URGES LOCATION
OF CENTENNIAL
AT AGGIELAND
Bruce Frazier of Electra Hopes A. &
M. Will be Well Represented on
Board of 100 Directors.
IS ENTIRELY LOGICAL.
Part Played by A. & M. in Agricul-
tural and Industrial Growth of
State Makes it Fitting to Hold
Exposition Here.
Urging that a determined effort be
made to bring the Texas Centennial
to the A. and M. College, Bruce
Frazier of Electra, is taking the lead
in insisting that A. and M. men
everywhere take an active interest in
the selection last Saturday of county
delegates to the senatorial conven-
tion which meet April 19 to select
the majority of the 100 Texans who
will be charged with the direction of
the exposition honoring Texas, birth-
day. The plan is to select through
these thirty-one senatorial district
meetings Saturday two permanent
members from each district to repre-
sent their respective districts on the
Texas Centennial Board of Directors.
The Associatio nhas taken up with
a number of A. and M. leaders the
question of being represented at the
county meets and it is hoped that
when the district groups gather that
there will be a goodly number from
Aggieland present.
Frazier advocates a determined
campaign by the Association to lo-
cate the Centennial Exposition at the
College. The fact that the A. and M.
College stands for the greater growth
in agricultural and industrial devel-
opment of the State is cited by Bruce
as one reason why the Exposition
should be staged on the 4,000 acres at
College Station.
A brief statement from Bruce as
to the possibilities of this movement
follows below:

Six games of baseball have swiftly

making half a season. In the six
played, the Aggies have fared rather
badly, having won only two of the
encounters. After a wonderful start

against Rice, in which both games
were won by scores of 11 to 2 and 25

men hit a slump, and with only one
to lose.
With the coming of Duke Bassinger
of S. M. U. and his wide outcurve,
went the eyes of the Farmer batters.
They have been unable since to hit
ball with the result that the won and
lost column is not quite all that it
should be and that individual batting
averages have fallen way down. The
time should be coming right away
when the batting eyes should be re-
covered, and with Crawford, the other
Aggie pitching standby, rounding in-
to better and better shape, the Ag-
gies should give a mighty account of
