(By Luke Ballard) The Waco Aggies met extra strong October 21st and acting as a commit- tee as a whole closed up all details of arrangements for the biggest Home Coming of the Former Students ever held in the Lone Star State. Some territory, but come along and see for yourself. k kk It is regreted but there are going to be some of the fellows disappointed about seats at the A. and M.-Baylor game November 1st. But old timers, we warned you and if you cannot stand up after the luncheon we will share our 12 inch seat with you, so come on. kk kx. Col. C. C. Todd, Commandant of : College visited Waco Friday, October 24th, completing arrangements for the movement of the Cadet Corps during the parade and their stay in Waco, November 1st. Incidentally the Colonel is President of the Brazos County Aggies and made reservations for a special truck for his club in the Former Students Parade. Some man- agement. : * kk ok Yes.

AND M. CLUB. eT LINED BY ~ in his appearance _aicheon. Humiliated “does not express our fecling. We are positively embarrassed at being ig- rored thusly. Our club probably does not turn out in large numbers like the Houston, Waco, San Antonio, and other ‘clubs but the. forty odd men at this meeting would have been glad to welcome any of the above mention- ed. We have the best club president of any club in the state and when it comes to delivering an address of welcome he is second to none. We believe that Nestor McGinnis could have made these gentlemen feel like they were among friends anyway. Any _explanations “should be sent to Nestor as he spent quite a bit of time preparing an address for this occas- ion. Anyway we all had good seats at the football game and enjoyed very much seeing the team in action. We had heard many reports from many sources but after having seen Mr. Berry and his team in action it is our opinion that he can go out and get one touchdown, two touchdowns, three touchdowns or whatever he is instructed to do. If you can’t re- call the last good quarterback that A. and M. has had just watch this Berry through this year and he will show you something. We believe that when the coaches see fit, to turn him loose with the team and tell him to go out and get all the touchdowns he wants he will show us some football. Of course if coach Bible does not know, this he is getting some free in- formation. We are not predicting a conference championship this fall but we do say that the team that gets by us this fall will know that the road was rather rough. Tyree Bell flivvered into Dallas Friday morning and announced that his main reason for stopping over was to get a piece of beef steak. Ty- ree loves his steak but everyone who knows Tyree also knows that there is not a man in the world that loves football better than he does. Tyree is located somewhere up in Oklahoma and says that they do not know what a good steak is up there. The last time he was seen here he was looking for someone to ride to Waco with him. Seems like his wife doesn’t like Okla- homa either. 9 Mentioning Waco brings to mind a copy of the Southwest Water Works Journal that the writer happened to get his hands on. We always knew that the Waco club had some reason for letting Luke Ballard take a prom- inent part in their activities but we never knew that he was capable of getting his picture on three separate | pages of one issue of a convention number of such a trade journal. Stay in there Luke and pitch. We are bet- ting on you. That Waco crowd is preity smart though. You can’t tell where they will bob up next. The Dallas crowd has been thoroughly convinced of that fact more than once. Here is hoping that they put on the feed again for the A. and M. game. We want to offer a suggestion however. You know that most of us Dallas fel- lows are so darned used to riding in a truck that we would consider it a real treat if the Waco fellows would ride us up and down their streets in Lincoln automobiles. Personally 1 never was in one of them but am will- ing to try it. Think it over Waco. The last time that Charlie DeWare was in Dallas he heard that, gasoline was selling for 12¢ over in Ft. Worth and decided that he would ride over and fill up his tank. He pulled that roadster of his into a Dallas filling station and inquired, “Say mister, how far is it to that town they call Ft. Worth ?” His answer was, “it is something like thirty miles.” “Oh, well, give me a gallon, I'll make it.” The service man looked at him and then at his car and remarked: “Say pardner, what are you trying to do, ween er?” We promised not to tell this one on Charlie but thought that it was too good to keep. Parson Church and Joe Utay made the same fishing place this past sum- mer but they were not there together. They were both comparing pictures of their catches down at the A. and M. luncheon one Friday when Joe un- expectedly inquired, “Marion, did you pay that guy $2.50 for that picture?” “What the hell you talking about,” I caught these fish myself” says Par- son. “Ah, don’t try to kid me like that, I could have bought the same picture” says Joe. Too bad but these fishing stories all come out in the wash. iin — Ql BEAUMONT A. AND M. CLUB. The local Alumni of A:'and M. Col- lege will be represented? delegation at the annual Thanksgiv- ing football game between the Uni-| versity of Texas eleven and the A land M. pigskin wariors Which will be It was decided by those present to make the trip on a special train over the Southern Pacific railroad, leaving this city at 9:30 p. m., Wednesday for Austin, arriving at that city at about 5:30 a. m. Friday and at Port Arthur at-7-a. m. Former students of the A. and M. and Texas University who are plan- ning to make the trip are requested to make reservations as early as rossible, calling the local Southern Pacific ticket office by F. L. Sheeks, division freight and passenger agent. The reservations will be held by the ticket agent until November 23. Strong delegations of former stu- dents of the two universities from Port Arthur, Orange, Jasper and sur- rounding territory have already sig- nified their intention of attending the | : M. College. game. Plans for staging a big dance dur- ing the Christmas holidays in Beau- mont by alumni of A. and M. and stu- dents at home for the holidays were discussed ‘and F. L. Bertschler was named chairman of the dance commit- tee of one to make the necessary ar- rangements and to select a place for the holding of the dance. It is the plan of the local alumni to invite the Port Arthur alumni and students from that place to attend the dance and to participate in making arrangements for the affair. A. C. Love and Ben E. Irby were named as a committee of two to write or wire Dr. W. B. Bizzell, president of A. and M. College at College Sta- tion and request him to place the col- lege exhibits on exhibition during the South Texas State fair. Efforts have already been made to secure the ex- hibits for the fair by the alumni but so far without success. Rapid progress in securing a coni- plete directory of all former stu- dents and graduates of the colleg? presiding in and near Beaumont is be- ing made b ythe association, accord- ing to a report submitted by Benja- min E. Irby, secretary of the associa- tion. All ex-students and graduates are requested to send in their names and addressees to Secretary Irby, 324 Fannin street. \ The reason why, Baylor won the football game from A. and M. Satur- day at Waco was explained by Mr. Love. He declared that A. and DM. lost simply “because she was outplay- ed from start to finish by the 'strong Baylor eleven.” Round trip Pullman rates between Beaumont and Austin for the foot- ball game Thanksgiving day follow: Standard Pullman drawing room, £13.50; lower, $3.75; upper, $3.00; y a strong ‘some unbelievers! tourist Pullman, lower, $1.88; upper, $1.50. Among those present at the meet- ing and banquet were H. E. Braunig, president of the association; Benjamin Beasley, George Morgan, Frank Chamberlain, A. E. Hatley, E L. Robinson, C. L. F. L. Bertschler, and T. L. Cleveland, traveling agent, traffic department of the Southern Pacific lines.—Beau- mont Journal, November 4, 1924. EEE BE J Beaumont Billets. The attached clipping tells of tke last Aggie meeting. These Beaumont Exes got the old ball rolling and they are keeping it on the move. If the South Texas folks don’t soon reach the impression that the only school with a live bunch of ex-students is A. and M. College it will be no fault of this gang. * x % The South Texas State Fair at Beaumont, November 13-22 will be handicapped, regardless of its suc- cess, if the A. and M. exhibit is not obtained. At any rate the Chamber of Commerce, the Fair Association, and everybody else in the county with whom an ex-Aggie has come in con- tact will feel that way. * kk ok Francis Rust, ex-’15, now doing stunt flying and aerial fireworks drop- ped in from Port Arthur where he has Leen engaged for some time.

It was their game until the last three minutes of play when the Texans be- gan long passes with that “nothing to lose” spirit and actually completed one for 35 yards right in the shadow of the Parker's geal posts. . They ve- ceived press credit for being equal to the Texans in every respect. The 10 to 7 score shows that. “Bull” de- i serves credit for single-handed coach- ing against the large Varsity staff, particularly with Texas having no less than 8 of last years State Champs on their present Fish squad. “Bull” made one substitution at the end when injury made it necessary. Texas played every man they had on the squad, eligible to enter. ss se The last Aggie has some red-hot dope in press comments about A. and If these clippings were on billboards in some of these locali- ties they would make converts out of It warms you up to see how outsiders look at A. and M.—the work for us to do is to make them look.

Yes, there they are, as we were in our time, Young, strong and keen and fast; And they will find as cheers fade down the years No dreams forever last; For they will be, when certain years have gone, Just Old Grads watching others coming on.
