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.

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.

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.

Prof. June and a number of his
architectural students were being en-

the same hour but managed to get
in for a few minutes before the
crowd scattered.

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.

Runt Hanson helped last week in or-
ganizing the new Hill Country Club,

fort. We are going to expect re-
sults, particularly in the way of he-
fish, from this section.

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.

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-

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.

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

Better get your glad rags and be on

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
