had much experience. Perhaps the
best bet will be Mitt Dansby who can
kick and pass, has a good head and is
a good individual player. Mitt came
up from Bryan High School and has
had much interscholastic experience.
He has turned in a steady game on
the fish team all of this last season
for Coach Anderson who believes that
the Aggies will be stronger in that
position with him on the job next
fell than they have been since
thur Knickerbocker was adorning
that job. R. H. “Bob” Berry, of Paris,
is another youngster who has shown
splendid possibilities. Bob was on
the squad last year but could not hit
his stride. He went splendidly in
the Battalion football race this sea-
son and Bible is looking at him with
some favor. Rawlins, who has had
two years on the squad also is a
promising youngster. Putnam, who
took turns with “Knick” last year is
an exceptionally steady man and has
the capacity of inspiring confidence
in the other members of the team. If
he was a triflle faster he would be a
most valuable man.
At ends Bible will have Allison and
Red Wilson if he comes back, as he
is planning to now, and the Aggies
will not be weakened in that position
despite the fact that both Jack Evans
and Puny Wilson were outstanding
ends. Kyle is another very good end.
The line will be well taken care of
with letter men and experienced
squad men who have exceptional
qualifications.
Brazelton will bear the burden of
the work at center. DuBoise will not
be available. Honest John Brazelton
is a big hard working fellow who is
a consistent fighter and should make
an exceptionally good pivot man.
Claud Watts, of Austin, has turned
in a good year’s work on the fresh-
man team and Coach Anderson be-
lieves that he will make a splendid
running mate for Brazelton.

It takes such a
conviction as that to make good in
this school.
Scattered about this State are quite
a few doctors who have graduated at
A. & M. and then in medicine here
at the medical branch of the Univer-
sity of Texas, but ‘everyone of those
men are A. & M. spirited men when
it comes to yelling for Old A. & M.
They are too numerous to mention
them all here, but to recall a few is
timely:
Dr. A. H. Neighbors, A. & M.’
has built up an excellent practice at
Seguin. He is for A. & M. through
and through.
Dr. A. C. Miller, ’14, is located at
Houston. The Potthast brothers, A.
H. and O. J. both ’11, one is prac-
ticing in San Antonio, and the other
in Walde.
Dr. Ed J. Kennedy, ’12, holds a
B. S. from A. & M. and a B. A. and
M. D. from Texas. He has a big
practice in Houston.
Dr. Geo. W. Sansom, ’15, is now
entering the Kansas City General
Hospital, which is a service envied
by many young graduates.
Others of recent years who prac-
Ar-(
tice the art and science of medicine
are Drs. G. M. Jones, '12, R. E.
Adams, ’09, and “Friend” Dodson,
15.
It is gratifying indeed to know that
A. & M. has now a course of study
which prepares one to enter any of
the class A medical schools. So far
no A. & M. man has ever failed to
make his grades in this school. At
present there are quite a number

We are very busy down here try-
ing to learn all about medicine that
thousands of doctors have found out
and at the same time try not to lose
touch with the outside world. So it

along the west side of the lawn and
curbing will be placed around the
memorial. Before another year
elapses the plans for the develop-
ment of the lawn will be made.
The exercises April 21 will be ex-
ceedingly impressive. Governor Neff
will arrive on the 3 o’clock train from
Austin. He will be given the custo-
mary salute fired in honor of a gov-
ernor. A troop of cavalry will escort
him from the station to the memorial.
He will be introduced by Ike Ashburn,
executive secretary of the Association
of Former Students who will preside.
Following the Governor’s address the
memorial will be unveiled by repre-
sentatives of the classes of 1923, 24,
25, 26, which classes have given the
memorial to the College.
A review honoring the Governor
and the families of the fallen A. and
M. men will follow this exercise.
Prior to the review Governor Neff
will present commissions to the cadet
officers in behalf of the College.
Dean Puryear and Col. Todd are
working out the details for a recep-
tion that night honoring the Chief
Executive.
In view of the activities in this con-
nection the Brazos County A. and M.
Club will not hold a regular meeting
on Avril 21 but will participate in the
dedication ceremony. That night a
program will be broadcast from the
College which will include music by
the Aggieland orchestra and short
talks by Col. C. C. Todd, president of
the Brazos County A. and M. Club
and by Ike Ashburn, executive sec-
retary of the Association.
Several A. and M. Clubs are send-
ing delegates to the College for this
service.

BIBLE EXPLAINS RULES
CHANGES FOR FOOTBALL

Washington.-
D. X. Bible, Texas A. & M. College
Only a few changes were made in
the football rules that will be con-
sidered more or less drastic. Most of
the changes tend to clarify and
interpret. A determined effort was
made to stop stalling and various
other methods of wasting time. Many
rules were reworded, obsolete pro-
visions removed, and interpretations
placed on complex problems. The
football code as presented for 1924
will be more definite, much clearcr,
and will add greatly to the interest
of the game.
Approved rulings on all debatable
questions will be found in connection
with the 1924 rules.
Important changes made were as
follows:
1. Abolition of all kicking tees:
Too much time was expended on
the moulding of mounds and also
their presence robbed kicking of its
science.
2. Advancement of the kick-off
from 40-yard line to 50-yard line.
" Realizing that the abolition of the
tee would greatly reduce the distance
and height of the kick the committee
changed the point of kick-off to mid-
field.
3. Granting of power to referee
to refuse to allow watch to stop or
time taken out when delaying of
game is apparent.
There has been much unreasonable
delay by sending in substitutes for
the sole purpose of taking out time
and various other methods of wast-
ing time. The referee has been giv-
en power to determine whether or
not a team is sparring for time and
to add t‘me so used to the regular
playing period.
6. Ball placed on three-yard line
or any point back instead of five-yard
line for try for point after touch-
down.
The rule which allows the team
scoring a touchdown to put the ball
in play on the three-yard line was
made so as to increase the possibil-
ities of scoring from a running or
passing attack. To insure a triple
threat, a system was much discussed
whereby two points would be added
to the score if the team who success-
fully crossed goal line by means of a
running play or pass and one point if
goal from field was used. However,
it was decided to use the present sys-
tem one more year. The two and one
point method will be discussed next
year.
7. In shift plays a full stop must
be made.
In case of shift play the referee
must require a definite stop before
ball is passed.
8. Passive interference in case of |
screen plays.
The screen pass in which ineligible
players gather around the athlete in-
tended to receive the pass so as to:
protect him from members of the de-
fensive team was hit in a rule which
states eligible players have right of
way and ineligible players must keep
out of way or interference will be
called.
9. Recommendation that gun be
fired at end of each quarter as signal
to referee that period is over.
10. Referee alone shall be only of-
ficial to use a whistle. This will
eliminate much confusion.
11. Provision for declining pen-
alty when forward pass touches inel-
igible player and is recovered by el-
igible player on defensive team before
ball hits ground.
Under old code defensive player re-
ceived ball where it was last put in
play whether or not he gained a great-
er distance after intercepting ball.
)
12, Er
No long pointed dlests. or shoulder
pads not protected shall be permitted.
13. In case of defensive side com-
mitting foul behind their goal line
when ball is in possession of other
side, the penalty shall be one-half dis-
tance to goal line and first down for
offended side.
14. Men going out of bounds are
not eligible for pass after ball is put
in play. :
4; Increase in penalty for more
than four timeouts in each half from
two to five yards.
There will be four timeouts in each
half now without penalty instead of
three and penalty increased to five
yards. In the past many teams have
been only too willing to accept a two-
yard penalty for the purpose of hav-
ing watch stop and save time. The
referee was also given power to order
timeout when a team appears to be
stalling to take up time.
5. Clarification of on-side kick.
The rule governing the on-side kick
which was abolished last year was
clarified by an addition to the rules
which plainly states that only in the
case of a kick-off or free kick can a
player on the kicker’s side recover the
ball.

instinet. The Spondtnrits follows
themselves in the next half.
On April 4, Texas Christian Univer-
sity arrived at College Station ready
to do battle. And they did battle,
with the total score being T. C. U. 9,
A. and M. 4. Carson, a rookie right-
hander, held the Aggies to 4 runs in
spite of the fact that he allowed 13
hits. It seemed that the bingles
never came at the opportune mo-
ments. Five infield bobbles also help-
ed the Horned Frogs to make more
scores. Rogers pitched a brilliant
game, totalling 10 strikeouts and al-
lowing four bases on ball, It was a
hard game to lose.
A. and M. came back in the sec-
ond game and knocked the mighty
Scott out of the box in-the third in-
ning. Ward relieved the Frog ace
then and held the Aggies to two hits
the latter part of the game. Craw-
ford pitched a creditable game, hav-
ing only one bad inning. Two errors,
two bases on balls, a single, a triple
and a home run made that inning his
worst. Aggies again made infield
bobbles, but this time not so costly as
before. Coach House has four young-
sters on his nine, two of them in the
outfield and on short and second. Wet
grounds made the day a it hard on
them.
On April 7, the A. and M. team
started a strenuous week of baseball,
playing two games with S. M. U. at
the first of the week and winding up
with two games wih Texas Univer-
sity. Such a schedule proved dis-
astrous to the Aggies; three games
were lost. It was in the second game
with S. M. U. that House's
seemed to be buffaloed by outcurves.
They swung at them without any res-
traint whatsoever. True at first
glance they looked good enough, but
there was a terrible hook on them.
The Mustangs were sent down into
defeat in the first game by a score of
7 to 2. Lefty Rogers twirled for the
Aggies against Loftice and Romotsky.
The lack of infield errors helped his
cause along mightily, and the stick-
work of the Aggies in the early
frames put the game on ice for A.
and M. '
The Aggie pitching ace did remark-
able work with the ball in the first
game. Nine strikeouts were credited
to his name, but he allowed only four
safe bingles and they came at times
when they did little or no good. Only
one of the Ponies’ runs was earned.
The second game started off bad-
ly with Graves in the box. The first
three men safely singled on him and
all three scored on a sacrifice and a
double. Graves held the Mustangs
well in hand until the fourth and sixth
innings, when they again added two
more counts to the total. Every run
was earned, though three errors were
credited to the Aggies.
Bassinger, the huge ugly pitcher for
S. M. U., whirled. curve after curve
over to the Aggies, caring not
whether they batted right or left
handed. A change of pace also made
his work more deceptive. He: was
credited with eight strikeouts, some-
thing ordinarily unheard of against an
Aggie team. And in spite of a rally
in the ninth by the A. and M. nine, the
final count stood S. M. U. 6, A. and
M. 4.
The best game of the season was
turned in on April 11 when Lefty
Rogers and Manny Ponsford, both
lefthanders, took part in a fair pitch-
er’'s duel. The Texas lad, however,
had better stick work and fewer er-
rors behind him and the University
came out on top by a score of 3 to 1.
The game was exciting throughout,
as both twirlers were inclined to be
a bit wild. Several times each side
threatened to change their total score.
The most intense moment came when

Rogers allowed three men to get on
and then retired the side. Two er-
rors in the ninth which gave Texas
another run, marred an otherwise
wonderful game.
Ponsford had a bit the edge on the
battle, allowing three hits and strik-
ing out nine batsmen. Rogers al-
lowed six bingles, and sent six back
to the dugout without giving them a
chance to swat the ball.
In the last game of the series,
Crawford was unable to control his
pitches and after five runs had been
made off of him, Graves relieved him.
Graves did not have such good luck
throughout the game for the final
count stood 18 to 1 for the University.
Neither of the Aggie pitchers had
much more than hope on the ball,
and it was the backing accorded by
the infield which enabled the Aggies
to pull out with no greater loss.
Oscar Eckhardt, no great pitcher,
but a lucky one, held the Aggies to
three hits also. A close play at the
plate, which after a bit of delibera-
tion, Umpire O’Hearn called in favor
of the Aggies, gave A. and M. the
only run of the game. Eckhardt reg-
istered 10 strikeouts against A. and
M, using mostly a wide curve ball. It
is to his credit that the umpire called
only two of them.
The remarkable feat of the game
was the Texas pitcher’s work with the
ash. He clouted the apple six times
in the six times he went to the plate,
one of the clouts being a double.
The Aggies are preparing for the
week-end games with Baylor on April
18 and 19. A little change of attack
is being planned which may result in
wins the rest of the season. The
three pitchers upon whom House has
been relying are improving with work
and the Aggie coach has some good
material in reserve.
COLLEGE TO ERECT

Once Stood.
Plans for the construction of a $50,-
000.00 hotel building on the campus
are being prepared now by Prof. E.
B. LaRoche, professor of Architec-
ture, and architect for the College.
The new hotel building will be erect-
ed just south of the old Shirley ho-
tel on the site of Leigh’s confection-
ery.
The building will be a two story
brick structure the lower floor be-
ing planned to house a barber shop
confectionery, restaurant and the lob-
by. The second floor will be devoted
entirely to rooms for transients with
a few rooms available for mature
students. The building is made nec-
essary by the visits to the College by
many extension workers, experiment
station employes and other offices of
the College or some of its branches.
At present no accommodations are
available for that purpose.
Nominal rates will be charged.
