TEXTILE GRADS MAKE GOOD IN RECENT MEETING Prof. Bagley Pleased With A. and M. Representation at Textile Associa~ tion Last Week. The ing of the Textile Association department at College together with a group of seniors in Textile engi- neering and a number students of the College engaged in textile work in this State rubbed el- bows with superintendents and over- seers of Texas mills. As the result of that meeting a committee will be appointed to con- fer with Prof. Bagley and his asso- ciates in textile work here with ref- erence to the curriculum of that de- partment. C. S. Tatum, one time instructor here and who now is sup- erintendent of the Consolidated Tex- tile Corporation at Bonham was named as chairman of this committee and the other members will be an- nounced later. In a splendid talk before the As- sociation Prof. Bagley discussed the purposes of the textile department at the College and urged the mill men to interest themselves in its proper conduct. The Association also will be invited to hold one of its sessions at College sometime within the next year. AE H. E. Runge ’16 Textile man, now with the Draper Corporation (cot- ton mill machinery) at Atlanta, Ga., addressed the mill men to splendid advantage. Among those who were present and who formerly were A. and M. men were Runge, Tatum, Hugh S. Clark, ’16, Superintendent Miller Mfg. Co., Waco; I. G. Moore ’17, Superintendent South Texas Cotton Mills, Brenham; M. J. Neeley ’22, Superintendent Waco Twine Mills, Waco; L. R. Manning ’20, Assistant Superintendent Waxahachie Cotton Mills; H. A. Burrow ’22, Overseer Consolidated Textile Corporation, Bonham; and McFadden, E. C., Greening, K. G., Earle, J. S., and Manly J. M. students. Prof. Bagley expressed himself as delighted with the very cordial re- ception given his party by the Asso- ciation and greatly pleased with the showing made by the A. and M. men in the discussions and affairs of the Association. RR. foo .LPRP- WEDDINGS. Hudson-Reeves. The marriage of Miss Jewel Reeves, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Reeves, to Jack Hudson of Re- fugio, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. B.

Harry McGhee “cotton gin in- spector” for El Paso county is just recovering from an operation for ap- pendicits according to advices re- ceived by The Aggie from George A. Altgelt county agent at El Paso. As soon as she is strong enough Me- Chee will go to Austin for a visit The El Paso club is meeting this week in its regular monthly meet- ing. W. B. Lanham of the Exten- son Service is there and will ad- dress the club. Officers will be elected at this time, also. —— pt ——eeeee CASEY-SPARKS LOAN FUND GROWS. Every week sees the addition of several dollars to the Casey-Sparks Student Loan Fund. The local con- fectioners are contributing to their fund at the rate of about $30 per month and very soon will have a sum which will be extremely helpful to worthy youngsters. Casey has been on the campus since 1913. Bill Sparks was a cadet vntil 1919 when he withdrew to en- ter business with Casey. Their place is located in the basement of the Y. M. C. A. building. Textile department of the A. and M. College of Texas received much recognition at the recent meet- of Texas at Waxahachie, May 9 and 10. Prof. John B. Bagley, head of the of former ‘| five no-trumps and didn’t have AGGIE COACHTO 60 10 OLYMPIAD TO STUDY TRAINING Frank Anderson Will Make a Study of Coaching Methods of World's Greatest Leaders in France This June. Frank G. Anderson, head coach in track and freshman football coach, left this week for his home in Ten- nessee for a very brief visit after which he wil sail on June 9 for Le Havre for a visit to France inspired primarily by the eighth Olympiad. Anderson wil spend two weeks prior to the opening of the Olympiad stud- ing the training methods of the vari- ous great athletic coaches who will have charge of the track and field men from every nation on the globe. He wil remain in France throughout the Olympiad and then will return to the United States. It will be a wonderful opportunity for him to study training and coach- ing methods and great results should accrue to Aggie track teams of the future as the result of this observa- tion and study. Coach Anderson has proved him- self a splendid track coach. Rothgeb set him a high mark when he turned rut two Southwest championship teams in that sport. The first year that Anderson took over the team he lost most of that material. How- ever he has been runner up for the past two years for track honors. The University of Texas in those two years has had the best track team ever assembled in the Southwest. —_—t—t— i ——— DALLAS A. AND M. CLUB. (By A. Y. Shiels). The most successful dance and bridge party that the Dallas Club has ever gotten away with was pull- ed off at the Jefferson Hotel on the 21st of April. This boy, Asa Hunt, who was in charge of arrangements for the affair made the boast that he was going to have the best affair the Dallas Club had ever had and he de- livered the goods. Everybody was there with a few exceptions such as J. B. Thomas, R. T. Shiels, Marion Church and Joe Utay. These fellows all had good excuses when seen at the next club meeting but the report was in cir- culation that their wives said that there were to many young girls on the floor. Joe John, who says he went to A. and M. in Charlie Morans day, sat ‘n at a bridge game with Nestor Me- Ginnis and the tale is out that he bid a stop in spades. Joe won’t discuss this but he doesn’t deny it either. McGinnis says that Joe didn’t take a trick. E. E. McQuillen was hollering all night about some body taking his partner away from him and it turn- ed out that he didn’t even bring a young lady with him. Somebody said that it was a little hard for Mec. to get a date with the girls now be- cause he always wanted to campaign on the front porch. This hard-boiled purchasing agent for the Dallas Power and Light Co., George Brundrett, was certainly strutting his stuff. George still has the old time swing and the way he got about on the floor with some of the young ladies was worth watch- ‘ng. Here is one fellow who will stand watching by his better-half. Somebody told Ewing Moseley that he was by far the most grace- ful dancer on the floor and the poor boy believed it. Later in the even- ing Ewing was seen rushing out side apparently gasping for fresh air and when questioned as to where he was coing he said, “My stars man, did you see that woman I was dancing with? TI’ll bet she weighed two hun- dred pounds and I only weigh ninety- seven.” The writer can’t vouch for the statement but he was told that the dance broke up about twelve-thirty. Everyone seemed to have a good time and it was unanimously agreed to have another dance in the near future. . Evans Keeling, who was the rep- resentative of the Dallas A. and M. Club at the dedication services at college on the 21st, reported back that he enjoyed the trip very much and that the ceremonies were very interesting. J. B. Thomas who pastimes as Chief Engineer for the Texas Power & Light Co., has returned from a three weeks trip to New York. The report was current during his ab- sence that he was trying to buy the Woolworth building but upon ques- tioning after his return he said that this was all a mistake that he was only trying to buy the Brooklyn bridge. J. B. reports that he had a wonderful trip besides attending to some business while in New York. R. T. Shiels has returned from a weeks visit to New Orleans at the expense of the Southwest General attending the National Convention of the Electric Light Association. If he brought anything back with him he has failed so far to let it be known. Parson Church visited the Tulsa club recently and says that they have some live men up there and that the association can expect some good work from this club in the fu- ture. We are all glad to hear this. Stay in there Kotzebue. Church visited the Fort Worth club on the night of the 21st and says that Miller and his gang are still on the go and that he expects a whole lot of this club. J. L. Lockridge who has been do- ing good work for the association up around Wichita Falls has moved to Dallas and will be associated with Uncle Jimmie Nagle in his project to give Dallas a supply of water. Lockridge says he thought that he never would get moved. Just off hand I don’t know whether he said seven of his children had measles at one time or whether it was eleven. Anyway he’s here now and the Dal- las club has room for him to con- tinue his work. E. E. McQuillen who has in the past been associated with the firm of McCormick and MeQuillen has quit the insurance business and is now with the U. S. Veterans Bureau. He and Shorty Sherrell sit over there and argue about who does the most work. Fatty Felt ’13 has demonstrated some kind of automobile accessory every Friday at the club for the past two months but to date nobody seems to know just exactly what it is that he is trying to sell. Felt says that he has the best accessory on the market. If any of you auto- mobile owners are interested in this article, this wonderful money saver, get in touch with Felt. ; It is reliably reported that Joe Utay is still in Dallas but he has not been seen around an A. and M. lunch for over a month. The last time that Joe was up he told an in- teresting fishing story about himself. Joe says that the last time he went to White Rock fishing he wore an old A. and M. belt buckle and that an eight pound bass struck at this buckle and knocked him down. He claimed that Parson Church was along with him but Parson doesn’t seem to recall the occasion. Knox Lee ’08 was visiting in Dal- las recently from Marshall, Texas. He was seen at the Electric Club. ————— SAN ANTONIO A. AND M. CLUB. {: By “Bill Orth), One of the best meetings of the year for the San Antonio Club re- sulted from the recent regular ses- sion. The gathering was featured by the presence of a number of vis- itors, notably Ralph Soape, of Hous- ton, and an officer of that club, and Hans Eyl Runge, formerly of Gal- veston but now of Atlanta. % kok Prof. June and a number of his architectural students were being en- tertained by the S. A. architects at the same hour but managed to get in for a few minutes before the crowd scattered. * kx Bill King, chairman of the day, had arranged a snappy and enter- taining musical program and tried the bunch out on a song. It was not so good but Briggs says that he sang much better in Brownsville at the Engineers’ Convention. * ok % Bill Eifler and assistants are get- ting up a barbecue for the prospec- tive fish of this vicinity which affair will be staged at Judge Wurzbach’s country home. * kk Polly Kreuger, G. H. Briggs, and Runt Hanson helped last week in or- ganizing the new Hill Country Club, not a golf club but a real live branch of the Association, in the hill coun- try adjacent to Kerrville and Com- fort. We are going to expect re- sults, particularly in the way of he- fish, from this section. * kk Walsh & Burney, San Antonio general contractors, are building the new stadium at Austin. Bob Bur- ney of this firm is a $500.00 man in our Association and will do them a good piece of work, having come up upder the tutelage of the C. E. de- partment at College. EE McLENNAN COUNTY A. & M. CLUB (BY LUKE THE NEWS HOUND). The Waco Aggies are again down to ‘business after the riotous celebration of April 21st with plans in the mak- ing for the November 1st grand re- union. “Fish” Tinner, ’23, is now with us in the Terrell Bartlett Engineering work for the city of Waco. If an Ag- gie can’t get the contract he is on the job anyway with the organization that did. Lucky for everybody. % sk ok Say fellows, don’t it make good reading to note in the Aggie that the and Chicago as well as the Tulsa Ag- gie clubs are sending delegates to the Commencement meeting of the For- mer scuder:s’ Association? 7° they can do that every former student in the state of Texas should be at Cecl- lege either in person or by proxy. Let’s all go. ‘ sk S. A. Tongate, O. K. Johnson, Ed- mund Taylor, invaded the San An- tonio Aggies in atendance of the State Commandery Conclave, making the round trip safely. Thanks to “Runt” Hanson and his gang. Bk ok “Doe” Rollins, ’17, A. E. Hunt, ’22, made us a pleasant visit combining business and pleasure. Come again fellows on luncheon day. % kk Bob King, 21, passed through Wa- co en route to San Antonio with the Worth Commandry drill team attend- ing the State Conclave. sk ck “Red” Taylor reports having spied “Runt” Hanson in a theatre in San Antonio during the Commandry Con- clave. He seemed perfectly at home, can’t imagine that, he is more at home on the stage. kok dk Hot Dog! These Aggie news hounds surely do like to shoot at each other through the Aggie columns. There is safety in distance as well as print- er’s ink. Just stay in there and pitéh fellows; the gang is with you all the way. We are mighty glad to note that Old Henry Davenport of Palestine, at College, is getting into action that means a live club at Palestine. EE “Peter Pan” of the Dallas Aggies, surely must be a student of Ring Lardner’s. Either that or he has been over in the vicinity of Mt. Pleasant. Come again boy; that’ good stuff. meaning your writings. y % kk Welcome to our club columns, J. M. McReynolds of Tulsa Aggies. Expose that gang of yours and see if you can live in the town happily thereafter. No they won’t hurt you if you do but look out when you fail to mention their names. We believe that a prize is going to heoffered and won by the Aggie club having the larger number in atend- ance at College commencement. Just a hunch, but the Waco Aggies believe it is. worth playing to win. ok ck We wonder if Lockridge moving to Dallas took all the pep out of that Wichita Falls gang. No, we don’t be- lieve it. However, we don’t see any- thing of them in the Aggie. Come on out of the oil fields and circulate your words. Now then, that bunch of Dallas Ag- gies have something to think about besides the Waco Club’s possible mon- opoly of the white space in the Ag- gie, I guess old C. L. Bering of the Houston Aggies failed to shoot both barrels. Guess we had better drop in on the Houston Scheme Brewing. 1 bet its good. k kk Say, you old Aggies, are you going Texas, roommate of John Burns while and 79 beat you on the showdown at College Station commencement? Better get your glad rags and be on hand when the noses are counted. All you fellows that have signed the dotted line on one or more of Parson Church’s notes, cut out the article in the April 30th issue of the Aggie and mail it to some old Aggie you think of that has been overlooked. Start a chain letter for the Student Loan Fund and lets make it easier for the boys trying to make the grade for that sheepskin. vin Uk Don’t forget, all you roaming Ag- gies, that the Waco Club luncheon date is on the 21st of every month rain or shine hot or cold and the latch string hangs on the outside awaiting your pull.

Recently when the son’s graduation became assured F. L. Montgomery, now a prominent attorney of Eufaula, Okla., sent his graduating ring to his son.
