The Aggie Cats opened their month-
ly meeting at the Westbrook Hotel
Grill Room on October 1, by listening
to the ’Ole Timer Mr. C. H. Capps,
’89, tell of the interesting side lines
that happened during his stay at A.
and M. He told the boys of things
of great mysterious happenings that
do not occur in such great quantity
today at A. and M. His revelations
of his Fish days were told as if they
had happened only a few days off. We
congratulate him on having such a
wonderful memory. He resides in
Arlington. A real live Aggie if it
has been thirty-four years ago.

Gentlemen do not become alarmed
at this new column but on the other
hand we intend to fill this space for
each issue, furthermore Fort Worth
intends to put forth to the world
something else besides championship
baseball teams and that is to organ-
ize and bid for one of the best and
peppiest A. and M. Clubs in the State.
We fully realize that we are some-
what behind the time and slow in
pushing forth as some of the other
clubs have, but remember the ’ole say-
ing: “All’s Well That Ends Well.”
So here’s for a great ending. At the
recent meeting the writer of this

fill the place as Publicity man. There-

“will be an Aggie in reality” some

A. H. DEPARTMENT
HAS NINE HORSES
IN DALLAS SHOW
Beef Cattle Fitted for Ring Cannot
Be Taken to Fair on Account of
Quarantine Now in Force.
For the first time in many many
years the Animal Husbandry Depart-
ment of the College will have no beef
cattle on exhibit at the State Fair at
Dallas this year. The cattle were all
fitted for the Dallas show when the
outbreak of the hoof and mouth dis-
ease occurred resulting in quarantines
against the shipment of livestock.
Recently the quarantine was modified
and the department will send nine
head of their best horses to compete
at the Dallas show. Six Percheons
and three Morgans will constitute the
entries for A. and M. there.
Among the horses taken are several
who have been regular prize winners
in the last two or three years that
they have been exhibited in Texas.
The Morgan string consists of a mare
Blondie, grand champion at Dallas
year before last, an exceptionally
good foal of this mare by Red Oak,
and the stallion, Alamo, secured from
Sellman of Rochelle in trade for Red
Oak last spring following his show-
ing at Fort Worth.
Two mares and two stallions in the
Percheron string are previous winners
and promise the same this year. La-
fitte, stallion was first in his class,
junior champion and reserve grand
champion at Dallas last year. Mou-
zon, was first prize stallion at Fort
Worth last spring. Linees, mare, was
grand champion at Fort Worth year
before last, and Pavia, another mare
was first in her class in the last three
shows in which she has been enter-
ed. i
At the conclusion of the Dallas Fair
he will take them to Waco for the
Cotton Palace.
An interesting addition to the hor-
ses are the mare mule and her colt
which have recently ben the sensa-
tion of the animal knigdom of this
section of the country. This pair
were taken along as a curiosity to
satisfy all those who may be skeptical
about the report of the hybrid con-|
trevening all the established laws of
heredity in reproducing.

SMITH ’22, IS BACK FROM
A CRUISE TO THE ORIENT
“We landed here four days ago and
I was surely glad to put my foot on
U. S. soil once more. I was never out
of the States longer than a week be-
fore this and I must admit I was
pretty homesick between Honolulu and
Yokohama going out. After that the
trip was fine because we made a port
every two or three days, and there
was always something new to be seen
and remembered. As you said, the
knowledge and experience to be
gained from such a trip is of wide
scope, and I did my best to accumu-
late all I could of both.
“Your letter was waiting for me
here and I believe you know how I ap-
preciated it, and I thank you for tell-
ing me I was wise in taking the trip.
I was not so sure of it. However, I
am going to make another wise move,
I believe, by changing my mind about
going to sea for any great length of
time. I shall go out on one more two
month’s run and then I am through,
for I feel that I should come back and
take up the work with the Burroughs
Adding Machine Co., as I have in-
tended doing the past two years. The
sea life is a good one in a way, but it
lacks something I want and contains
many things I don’t want.
“Yes, I shall certainly have my
mind and heart in Aggieland not only
on Turkey Day but on every other day
of football season. Would like to get
the write-up of each game they play
and have the news waiting here when
I return December 1. Will all the
games be published in the Texas Ag-
gie?
Give my love to your wife and baby.
How long before you are going to put
him in a football uniform? Tell Clem
Davis and any of the others of that
bunch hello for me also.
Sincerely,
(M. V.) SMITHIE.

Pleasure and business, especially
business pertaining to football as
it concerns A. & M. College, vied for
first honors at the regular semi-
monthly meeting and luncheon of the
A. and M. club held Monday night on
the roof of Hotel Beaumont.
H. E. Braunig, president of the
club, presided and introduced the
speakers of the evening. About 30
members were in attendance.
Football prospects of A. and M.
College for this year were outlined by
J. P. Garrity of Dallas, a guest of the
local organization. Mr. Garrity, who
is one of the well-known former grid-
iron players of the college, gave a
most interesting talk. He is in
Beaumont in connection with activi-
ties of the Magnolia Gas Company’s
new line to this city.
Bull Johnson, coach of South Park
Junior College, discussed Park’s foot-
ball prospects and Ted Winn, assist-
ant coach of the Beaumont High
school, made a similar talk, with the
Beaumont squad and schedule for
this season as his topic.
One of the most interesting fea-
tures of the meeting was a humorous
football discourse by W. T. Strange.
His discourse kept his audience con-
vulsed with laughter from beginning
to end.
Several interesting talks on Boy
Scouting and the part members of the
club may play in aiding the local
scout organizations were made by
Mr. Winn and A. C. Love, both scout-
masters. Charlie Swonger of the
club is also a scoutmaster.
It was indicated by the members in
their talks and general conversation
that the club will take considerable
interest in helping youths of the
scout units this winter in their va-
rious activities.—Beaumont Journal.

CHICAGO A. & M. CLUB
By A. V. Weise.
As the result of our recent reelec-
tion of officers I find myself with a
new duty, one which will require a bit
of work to perform as serviceably as
my predecessor has. However, I in-
tend to do my best in filling the “Cor-
poral’s” (Denny) shoes but that is no
small task in any respect.
Denny promised to send you a copy
of our revised roster and as it has
been completed to the best of our
ability, I .am encolsing the same.
We eagerly scour the papers every
week-end for football results and the
33-0 and 54-0 scores were certainly
joyfully received.
Would you mind asking the public-
ity agent to “stay on the line” in re-
gard to sending out the returns of the
games, for the papers here occasion,
ally miss them and I assure you there
is a disappointed gang in the Windy
City when that happens.
Hope that you will freely call on
me for any service that I can render
for I will be more than glad to per-
form it.
Sincerely yours,
A. V. WEISE,
Secretary.

Potts-Tribble
Dear Mr. Ashburn: ,
I just wondered if it would interest
you any if you knew I took the first
step toward divorce last Sunday,
September 28—I got married.
Being rather pressed for time, I
persuaded the young lady to come out
and we were married at the Methodist
parsonage in the presence of a few
Boulder friends.
The young lady? I followed your
example and went to Navasota for my
bride. Miss Mildred Tribble she was.
No doubt you knew her.
There is a scarcity of Aggies round
here during the winter. There were
a dozen or so here for the summer
months but they have all returned to
warmer regions.
It is indeed a regret to me that I
shall not be able to see any of the
Aggie games this fall. Colorado Uni-
versity, co-ed and just a little smaller
than A. and M., has some good games
this season. They play Hawaii U.
toward the latter part of the season.
With best wishes for the work of
the Association, I am,
Most sincerely yours,
CHOLLY B. POTTS ’24.

ber 1, 1924.

MOSQUITO CONTROL
SUBJECT OF STUDY
BY L. G. LENERT ’06
oi
——
Mosquito and Malaria Control is
the title of a bulletin recently pub-
lished by Louva G. Lenert, C. E., ’06,
sanitary engineer in charge of mos-
quito control for California. Lenert
has been with the State Board of
Health of California for some years.
He entered school here in 1902, com-
ing from LaGrange.
Such phases of the mosquito prob-
lem as life history, breeding places,
ditching and reclamation, the use of
fish in curtailing the breeding of these
pests, oiling and related problems are
considered in.a most excellent manner
by Lenert.
THE BEAUMONT AGGIES
PLAN FOR TURKEY DAY
A
(“Rabbi” Bertschler 21)
Beaumont, Texas, October 7Tth.—In
the Rose Room of Hotel Beaumont
the local A. and M. club held their
regular meeting last night with about
a score in attendance. An erroneous
newspaper report combined with the
experiment of dispensing with any
formal notice to individuals by letter
or phone on the day of the meeting
gave the lowest attendance for mary
months. Many sent word as to rea-
son of absence and with the excep-
tion of George Morgan, excuses were
accepted. It is said that the conduct
of this gentleman has been such in
the past that his wife now pulls the
“Maggie and Jiggs” act when he
speaks of going out. She doesn’t
trust him out with “General” Love,
L. J. Kopke, Phil Shearer and some
more of these peppy youngsters who
answer roll call at the bi-weekly shin-
dig.
“Hubie” Braunig, President of the
Beaumont outfit, says that in the fu-
ture on the day of meetings each
member will have an order by phone,
letter or word of mouth to appear or
suffer the consequences. It is be-
lieved that so many features of noval
interest are planned for the winter
meetings that nothing short of
mounted constabulary will keep a
member away. (No ballet dancing
on the program or anything like that
yet.) A Hallowe’en party for a
“Ladies Night” meeting is one early
item on the bill of fare.
Football was the major topic of dis-
cussion at the last night meeting.
Beaumont is boosting and a special
train is being arranged for the Tur-
key Day Pilgrimage to accomodate
the Ex-Aggies of this metropolis and
the suburbs, Orange and Port Arthur.
(Now watch ’em foam at the mouth!)
A banner and possibly some other
novelty representing the Sabine dis-
trict will be in evidence at Austin on
the memorable date, according to
plans discussed last night.

His talks on football and other sub-
jects are adding to the interest of
Beaumont Ex-Students Club meet-
ings.

In a recent issue the Beaumont En-
terprise carried photographs of the
32 men active in Boy Scout affairs in
the city. “General” Love, Scout Comn:-
missioner for the city, Ted Winn,
Scoutmaster of Troop 8, and H. C.
Schwaner, Scoutmaster of Troop 12
were each especially mentioned for
their value and interest manifested
in the work. A tip from the General
is for other towns to see that A. and
M. men are available when needed for
Scout work. He has obtained prom-
ises from other local Aggies to help.

The South Park and Beaumont
High football teams are also getting
good Aggie instruction. “Bull” John-
son ’24, at South Park as head coach
and Ted Winn ’21, Line Coach at
High, are doing their duty and the
teams are making clean sweeps so
far. Such activities are like sending
out missionaries.

son here has attracted a great deal
of attention and on every hand highly
favorable comments are heard regard-
ing his work. The station is in splen-

couple will make their home at Rich-
mond where “Bully” is located with
the Gulf Production Co. B. J. Irby
’17, and later of Columbia, has archi-
tectural offices in Beaumont. At the
present he is supervising the comple-
tion of a home in English cottage de-
sign for Ed Stedman, Jr., ex-"21.
Speaking of the Irbys, the father
of Bully and Ben, a local real estate
dealer, is a Mississippi Aggie and was
professor for many years in that state
and Carolina. At one time he was
offered a chair tide and M. but con-
sidered it too far away. Later his
two sons attended.

Local Aggies have noted ‘that the
University has a Beaumont student
contributing to the Enterprise. Long
weekly articles on general activities
are printed each Sunday. With that
course in Journalism some Beaumont
Aggie should keep the local papers
supplied with news and possibly can
earn a little change for “Casey and
Sparks” proprietors of the “Campus
Filling Station.”

SAN ANTONIO EX-STU-
DENTS’ CLUB NEWS
(By J. W. “Deak” Porter)
San Antonio boasts of having the
livest A. and M. Ex-Students Club in
existence! If you do not believe it,
just drop in the Gunter Hotel some
Thursday at noon and attend one of
our weekly luncheons. We always ex-
tend a hearty welcome to visitors, in
fact we will even give you a chance
to get on your feet and give us a
talk.
*k x *
Football is the main topic of con-
versation, and yet some of the boys
will show that they are growing old
by telling of some of the things that
happened when Lhey were at the
“0ld School!”
x %x ¥
Last meeting we had the pleasure
of having Don Lee of the “State of
Texas’ with us; and.we were espec-
ially glad to have him tell us that
since we had Harvey Briggs in our
club that we had the Dallas Club bad-
ly outclassed when it comes to tell-
ing “nice stories!”
kk ok
Jimmie Myers, an old member of
ours, now of Palestine was also a wel-
come visitor; and we were glad to
hear from him that Palestine has a
real live ex-students meeting quite
often now too.
k kk
Of course everyone was Very Sorry
to hear of Louie Miller’s misfortune;
but they are not looking for alibis
to give for the “Thanksgiving Game”
for they know A. and M. is going to
do itself glory by defeating Texas on
Clark Field in their “Brand New
Stadium” which “Bob” Burney an old
A. and M. man, and a San Antoniou
club member is building for them. We
will have to admit that Texas Uni-
versity showed wonderful judgement
in picking an A. and M. man to build
their stadium for them too! Also
we understand that “Runt” Hansen
and the A. and M. freshmen class are
planning on helping Texas dedicate
their new stadium, of course he did
not give any of the details tho! May-
be he will have this year’s score en-
graved in the corner-stone, like a
certain 13-0 was engraved upon the
sides of a certain Texas Longhorn
once upon a time.
* kk
We are glad to announce that T. O.
Foster, Jr., is back in San Antonio
now employed as paving engineer for
the city, after leaving us for a year
for the charms of Arkansas!
* ok ox
Also, we know it will be good news
to old friends of Bryon Gouger to
hear that soon he is going to be lad
down a church aisle “For better or
for Worse!” Just an example of
another A. and M. man making good!
* % %
San Antonio is proud of two of its
old A. and M. boys who are making
good in eastern colleges; Tom Camp
’16, and Arthur Fenstermaker 24, are
both showing “Boston Tech” what a
Texas boy can do! Also it is rumor-
ed that Tom has been teaching a lit-
tle New England “Yankee’ girl what
love making is like; luck to you, Tor,
many a boy fails to get a young lady
to make a passing mark in such a
course as’ that!
* % k
Due to the aid of Judge Wurzbach,
A. and M. mothers in San Antonio
hope to soon have a real live Mother’s
Club which will help materially in
making the San Antonio boys at the
College life a little sweeter ever once
in a while with a real sure enough
feed from home which no one but
Mother could cook!
* % *%
Also this week end the single mem-
bers of the club and the C. I. A. ex-
students club are enjoying a dance
together; somehow the boys just can’t
find girls better than those who come
from C. I. A,, for better ones are not
to be found!
