Club at Baylor-A. and M. Game. WAS A BIG UNDERTAKING. Waco Aggies Pulled Off Magnificent Show Without a Bobble—Due Much Credit. The fall reunion at Waco was a tremendous success. Why waste words in attempting to adequately describe that event when those words above tell the story. It was one of the most ambitious programs ever at- tempted by any group of Aggies and it was successful, highly so, from There were Aggies from all classes, all periods in the life of the College. They brought their families with them. They were entertained lavish- ly and in spite of the loss of the Baylor game “a good time was had by. all.” Too much praise could not be ac- corded the McLennan County Aggies for the splendid effectiveness with which they ran off that busy day. It was a big undertaking but under the (Continued on Page 6) Here is Where the Waco Aggies Covered Themselves With Glory in Entertaining Aggies From Everywhere Nov. 1 | with Rice Friday afternoon, Nov. 14, ‘booted the oval squarely between the AGGIES SWAMP RICE AND T.C.U.

Outplayed for the first three quar- ters the Texas A. and M. College foot- ball team exemplified the old “Fight- ing Aggie” stuff in the football game and came up from behind a six point lead to give the Rice Owls a 13 to 6 walloping and puncture their baloon of championship aspirations. Their offense almost entirely gone through injuries, the Aggies made only two first downs in the first two quarters. They came back a little stronger af- ter the intermission but with Kishi out and McGuire substituting for him, all chances for overcoming Rice’s lead seemed lost. A beautifully executed rass to the corner of the lot from Mitt Dansby to W . W. Wilson, right end, netted six points and Mitt Dansby bars for the seventh point and a one point lead. That was in the fourth quarter, which quarter belonged to the Aggies all of the way through. Berry and Mitt Dansby were respon- sible for the second touchdown. The little Pepper Box made a beautiful twenty-five yard return of Williford’s kick to Rice’s 30-yard line. Mitt Dansby ploughed through the line for fifteen yards and then Berry. literally outran the Rice right end of the line and all of the secondary defense for the other touchdown. Dansby’s at- tempt at goal was blocked. A detailed story of the Rice game will be given in the next Aggie. Fay Wilson was put in at the sec- ond quarted to do the kicking. He was allowed to take no chances on in- juring his shoulder and when he car- ried the ball took holes only, not at- tempting to drive through. Berry and Kishi were completely covered and Mitt Dansby was the outstanding back field man of the day. Of course. Waugh and Allison were their usual tower of strength in the line. Rice’s line is all that publicity men claim it to be. The Aggies absolutely (Continued on Page 5) AUSTIN HEADQUARTERS.

L.D.DAD ROYER "14 PROMINENT AGGIE VISITS ON CAMPUS Assistant Chief Engineer for Henry Ford Interests Pays Visit to Col- lege. Is One Thousand Dollar Man for Association. One of A. and M.s outstanding men was back on the campus recent- ly, that man being L. D. “Dad” Royer, ’14, first assistant to the chief engineer of all of the Henry Ford in- intertsts. During his brief stay on the campus Dad found time to become sn honor man for the Association by making a one thousand dollar con- tribution to its funds and to make an inspirational address to the engi- neering students..- He was the honor guest at a banquet of engineering officers and instructors during his stay here. It was Dad’s first visit back to the College since he completed his spec- ial course here. His rise since leav- ing A. and M. has been nothing short of phenomenal and due to his intense activity he has not had an opportu- nity to loaf a bit by returning to his old haunts. “I find great pleausure and satis- faction in my A. and M. training” Dad said while here. “Take in New York City for instance. I do not be- lieve there is another technical insti- tution in the country which has as many outstanding men, proportionate to its enrollment, in that great city as does A. and M. I know them by the dozens there—big men, and every one of them is delivering the goods.” Drawing on his personal acquaint- ance with the automobile magnate Mr. Royer gave his hearers an inti- mate personality sketch of Mr. Ford as a business man. His outstanding characteristics in his business oper- ations is the elimination of waste material by its proper utilization, he (Continued on Page 5) J. ALLEN YATER °’22 KILLED IN ACCIDENT J.

What About Other Aggie Groups? Doesn’t itt warm your heart to see an Old Aggie get a real case of Ag- gie religion? Well old J. B. Price, who represents the Purina Mills out at El Paso, box 44, is burning up with fervor for A. and M. and the Associa- tion. He has a plan, a system, that would work wonders for the organi- zation should a half dozen A. and M. men adopt it. The Purina Mills contingent is go- ing to be 1000 per cent for A. and M What if the Texas Power and Light, the Southern Pacific, the Smith Bros., and a few other of these big groups of A. and M. men should get the same religion that Price has.

I am charged with getting every ex-student in the western part of the Republic of Texas to sign a note, and attach his check if possi- ble, and send them in to you. I am so lazy that I decided the only way I could get myself to do this would be to set a quota for myself, and that quota will be $5000.00 by spring. I am going to make it easy to do by giving this out in allotments to every ex-student in El Paso and adjoining counties, and to every former student in the employe of this company (the Purina Mills).
