FALL REUNION
AT WACO NOV. 1
GREAT SUCCESS
Aggies From Everywhere Guests of
McLennan County A. and M. 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

BUT LOSE THRILLER TO BAYLOR
LONGHORNS AT STADIUM FINALE
Long List of Cripples Out of Game Since S. M. U. Contest Should
Be Ready To Go On Turkey Day After
Twelve Day Rest.
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

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
