SCHEDULES ARE ANNOUNCED FOR 24-25 SPORTY Complete Schedule of Athletic Con- tests for Next Collegiate Year Announced by “Sully.” CONTESTS ARE REDUCED. Schedule for Baseball and Basketball Provide for One Instead of Two Game Series. Athletic schedules for A. and M. College of Texas for the year 1924- 25, now complete reflect the work of the recent meeting of the Southwest Conference to halt the gradual en- croachment of athletic activity upon the more serious phases of collegiate life. The restriction of competitions in basketball and baseball to a single contest on each date of meeting is practical evidence of the efforts of the Conference officials to bring about a curtailment of athletic par- ticipation by college and university teams. The schedule was prepared at the same time by all Conference schools as the result of a conference held in Austin, day following the last meet- ing of the Conference. Some few de- tails remained to be decided on after that date but the body of the sche- dules were drawn up then. Mr. Sul- livan was chairman of the committee which effected the work of compiling competitive dates. As a result of the compact agreement each conference team will meet each other team in the conference under identical con- ditions in a two-year period so that the championship will be decided fairly. Because of the great dis tance to Arkansas and Oklahoma it was found impracticable for each of the Texas teams to make the trip to both places every year, but an agree- ment was reached whereby part of the teams will go to Arkansas and part to Oklahoma this year and Okla- homa and Arkansas will come to those teams who do not go to them this year. Next year the plan will be reversed. The Texas A. and M. basketball team will go to Fayette- ville and the Razorback baseball nine will come to College Station. The Texas A. and M. baseball team will go to Stillwater and the Oklahoma Aggie quintet will come to College Station. Two games will be played cach time and these will %he only double series on the Texas schedule. The Razorback eleven will also come to College Station, but since only one game of football has been on past schedules this will not affect the recent plan of singling games. It will be the first time in recent years that the Razorback eleven has come to Texas A. and M. Five Track Dates. The Texas Aggies will play 14 conference games in basketball and the same number in baseball. There will probably bé two non-conference basketball and four extra non-con- ference baseball games. There are five dates on the track schedule in addition to the South- west conference meet which will be held at College Station the first time in eight years. The Aggies will go to Baton Rouge Louisiana, for their first track competition on Louisana soil. Complete Aggie Schedule.

As a result of the interest and co- operation of County Agent, Alvord, formerly a teacher at A. and M. and 0. B. B. Jolly, assistant county agent for Bexar county, much interest in attendance at A. and M. on the part of high school men of San Antonio has been worked up. Friday night, July 11th about fifty prospective students, many of them with their parents, gathered at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium to hear Polly Krueger, and Ike Ashburn talk about A. and M. It was largely a meeting of round table discussion and ques- tions. It is likely that San Antonio will have sixty Fish at the College this year. The San Antonio Aggies are planning on giving a party for these youngsters at - Judge bach’s home sometinie during the SUC. —_—————— WITH THE HILL COUNTRY CLUB (By ‘Bob’ Faust, Comfort) We looked very closely in the last issue of the Aggie for Runt Hanson’s write-up of the Hill Country A. and M. Club’s old fashioned barbecue, for Runt and a confidence man named Briggs were there Runt threatened to have an account of it in the Aggie; but upon mature de- liberation I have come to the con- clusion that it would not be fair to either one of the above two, to ex- pect them to remember a thing about it; I left them at twelve midnight, and Briggs was busy practising on Runt—the excuses he would offer to his wife for getting back into San Antonio at 4 a. m. If possible please mention in the next issue (if out in time) that the next meeting of the Hill Country A. and M. Club will be August 6th, and that all A. and M. men in the en- virons of the six or seven adjoining counties are expected to be present. We lack one man of being 100 per cent. on the notes, and after this are going after outsiders, that are A. and M.men by inclination. Yours very truly, Bob Faust. sr Ei rSPAIEH-P PPD PENROSE B. METCALFE IS MAKING RACE RACE FOR STATE LEGISLATURE gird Penrose B. Metcalfe, graduate of A. and M., ranchman of San Angelo, Tom Green county, is in the race for the legislature from his district. The 91st District includes Tom Green, Irion, Glasscock, Reagan, Sterling and Howard counties. Since his- graduation Penrose has been on the Glenmore Farm owned by Charles B. Metcalfe and Son. His address is P. O. Box 206. Mr. C. B. Metcalfe was a member of the legis- lature a few years ago and was a good friend to the College. —_——————————— F. H. BURMEISTER OUT FOR STATE SENATE. Word from the two Burmeister boys advises that their father F. H. Bur- meister, of McMullen county, is run- ning for the office of State Senator in and for the Twenty-Seventh Sen- atorial District of Texas. Mr. Bur- meister has been a consistent friend to the College and during his son’s stay here has been a frequent visitor on the grounds. Warz-| I, 5 BRIGGS "04 CALARYE (N Lk TELLS OF VISE COMMENCHMENT “Trap Rock Chats” Describes Re- union of ’04 Men During Recent Closing Festivities. J. H. Briggs ’04, C. E., San An- tonio under the inspiration of Polly Krueger's leadership has become one of the leading evangels for the Association. Briggs gets all over the State and like Luke Ballard, meets a world of old Aggies. In- cidentally he is a good salesman and he never yet has failed to line up his man for the Association. He is with the Trap Rock Co., San Antonio Sales Department as sales manager and publishes a newsy, in- spirational little sheet called “Trap Rock Chats” which goes to every engineer, contractor, material man in Texas practically. In his last issue he covered the last commencement as follows: “A. and M. Commencement. “We went to our first A. and M. Commencement in twenty years the other day. The institution has cer- tainly grown. After staying about the same size, four companies, from the late seventies until about 1908, it commenced a phenomenal growth, until now it has about two thousand students, with infantry, cavalry, sig- nal corps, artillery and air service units, all well equipped. “It is badly crowded and at pres- ent needs new buildings if it is to continue to grow. There have been no large appropriations for several years, in fact since Ferguson’s ad- ministration. Ferguson was not very strong for the University and was very good to the A. and M. “Everyone was surprised at the large number of ex-students of the first classes of 76-77-78-79 present. They had a wonderful time and many joyous re-unions. R. J. Potts got mixed up with them one day, and one old timer recognized him as a class- mate. Bob immediately fixed him with a glaring eye and said: “Look here, I'd have you know that I was not born until ’78”. “The Ex-students Association met and elected C. C. Kreuger, President of the San Antonio Machine & Sup- ply Company, as President for the coming year. £ “Marion Church, of Dallas, Presi- dent for the past year made a won- derful report. At the last meeting a year ago it was almost decided that the Ex-students Association should give up and disband. The treasury was four thousand dollars in the hole and no apparent interest on the part of the ex-students throughout the State. A year later under Church’s leadership the deficit had been wiped out and $75,000 in notes payable to the Association on hand. Church is a man of strong personality and a natural orator, and his talk and re- port made a deep impression. Ike Ashburn has also been busily on the job as Executive Secretary. If you have not already signed a note, do so and send it to Ike at College Sta- tion, Texas. “Qur class, the class of 1904, had fifty per cent. present, which is re- markable after twenty years absence from the college. They also signed up 100 per cent. for notes. Confi- dentially, it is the best class yet turned out from the old college, al- though not considered so by the col- lege professors at the time. Well, the judgment of the world is not al- ways the same as the professors, as the professors sadly discount the hell raisers and judge men too much by their grades, whereas nobody but a dam fool would believe everything that a professor said. Already some of Jimmie Nagle’s Shining Lights are getting dimmed out in the Glare of this World. “We enjoyed meeting with Rich- ey’s graduating class of Civil Engi- neers, and worldly wisdom was pour- ed to them by J. W. Puckett, J. E. Pirie, Jerome Cochran, T. P. Clonts, W. E. Japhet and Ye Editor, all of the ’04 class. Richey wants all you fellows, when in the vicinity of Col- lege Station, to drop in on him and from time to time make talks to the students. He has the right idea and is trying to turn out his boys to be practical engineers. “By the way, you East Texas Gangsters that need anything in blue printing or engineering sup- plies remember Japhet, Southern Blue Print and Supply Company, at 98 1-2 Main St., Houston.

Newly Elected City Manager of Waco, Texas. Announcement of the appoint- ment recently of E. E. McAdams ’11, as City Manager of Waco was the occasion for a great deal of disap- pointment on the part of the citizen- ship of Bryan where Mec has been serving for four years as City Man- ager. The appointment of Mec- Adams to this high position came as a recognition of his good work in Bryan. He made no application for the position. Mc came to College in 1907 from Bedias, a little town near here and entered College taking civil engi- neering. After his graduation in 1911 he took up teaching and was with the physics department and la- when he resigned to become associa- ted with the city of Bryan as city manager. He has done a wonderful piece of the progressiveness of Bryan is due to his efficiency. Resolutions com- mending him, deploring his depar- ture and congratulating the city of Waco were adopted by the City Com- mission, Chamber of Commerce, Ro- tary Club, and other civic organiza- tions of Bryan. He reported for duty at his new station on July 15th. A successor has not been chosen at Bryan. (Tip to the Waco Club Mc says a good Aggie****¥*) ter the C. E. department, until 1920 Marsh, and J. S.

Burkett) Twice each month the little band of some twenty Aggies missionaires marooned in this wild land of Osage Indians, cow hands, and Republicans gathers around the gastromic board and break their bread as they glean from one another the latest tidings from God’s Country and Aggieland. At the last feast the circle was en- larged by four new brothers who have just recently come over the Red River to preach the glories of Texas... These new members are: W. H. Davidson, B. D. Leuty, G. J. They are all of the Aggie vintage'of 1924 and have associated themselves with the Empire Companies of this city. All the boys are enjoying these hot summer days and vehemently pronounce them hotter than anything we ever had in Texas. Most of us are already planning our summer vacations and are looking forward to a brief but happy days down where the cactuses bloom and the long horns build their nests. All Aggie pilgrims passing thru this oasis are urged to give us a call and receive refreshment as does the rambling ‘“Nookie” Priester who he is going to show you how to be:rcomes smiling in as regular as the seasons.
