Rice has a fight yell that sounded
mighty like “Fight Like Hell, Fight
Rice, Fight Like Hell.” A. and M.
several years ago yelled for the
“whole damned team” and were
promptly branded as a “bunch of
rough necks” for using profanity.
Seems queer that other institutions
can do a thing and draw smiles of
approbation while A. and M. draws
denunciation for much less question-
able practices. The Battalion remark-
ed not so very long ago that students
from other institutions were being
depicted as heroes in newspaper stor-
ies telling of how they beat their way
to football games and added that A.
and M. boys are called “bums” when
they indulge that gentle art. The
Battalion very wholesomely added
that this attitude made it very much
more imperative that cadets be very
thoughtful of their conduct in order
that the institution should not suffer.

The University of Texas faltered
considerably in the support of their
team as evidenced by their trip to Col-
lege Station for the Thanksgiving
game. Always the Aggie sales to the
Thanksgiving game at Austin great-
ly eclipse those of the University
sales to A. and M. contests at College
Station. This year the University
sold but few more seats, with a cham-
pionship hanging in the balance, than
they did in 1923 when there was no
color to the contest at all.
They do not like to come to College
Station. For instance, one of the Aus-
tin papers dedicated considerable
space to “Austin’s $150,000 loss’ pro-
testing against the playing of the
Turkey day game at College every
other year. Of course there always is
the cry that “eating places and hotels
are so inadequate at College Station”!
That’s true, but not quite so much so
as it is true of Austin. At Austin
they do not feel the pinch of incon-
venience because they put their feet
under their own tables. It is harder
for a Thanksgiving visitor in Austin
to get food than it is to get food at
College Station. With the College mess
hall with a feeding capacity on
Thanksgiving Day of 8,000 persons,
the College thus affords accommoda-
tions for easily three times as many
visitors as all of the hotels and res-
taurants of Austin combined can
furnish.
In justice to the College and its of-
ficers THE AGGIE feels that not a
city in Texas would have handled the
Thanksgiving crowd any more ef-
fectively than they were handled here
last week. Not an accident occurred.
There never was congestion at the
athletic park, the grounds were clear-
ed in fourteen minutes and the great
crowd seemed to come and go as if
by magic.

FIVE AGGIES WITH
MUNGER GIN CO.
“We have five former A. and M.
students working in our office here.
They are all good smart boys and are
getting along nicely” is the tribute
that Mr. L. R. Munger, President of
the Continental Gin Company, Dallas,
pays to the A. and M. men in his
employ. Mr. Munger is an ex-student
of the institution and says he wants
to have a part in the work of the
organization, particularly with ref-
erence to student loan work.
BEAN-TOWN GANG
ORGANIZE A. & M.
CLUB IN MASS.
Boston Aggies Meet to Perfect Plans
For Massachusetts A. and M.
Club—Many Aggies Around
Boston.
October 10 the Aggies in and near
Boston met Saturday night at the
Boston City Club and organized an
A. and M. Club.
Among those present were Lt.
Arthur C. Perrin, B. S.,, M. E,, 17,
Watertown Arsenal, Mass., and Clyde
W. Nugent, B. S.,, T. E,, "2, Shrews-
bury, Mass., richer of whom have
signed notes or are members of the
Ex-Students’ Association. They both
want to sign up and asked me to get
you to send them the notes and the
latest dope about the Association.
It quite often happens that the Ag-
gies that have been out of school for
some time have lost touch with the
college, and as we intend to hold an-
other meeting on December 5, I sug-
gest that you send me some notes
for distribution to those members of
the club that have not signed and
who we expect to have with us next
time.
I am enclosing a list of the Ag-
gies that we have been able to locate
in this vicinity. If you know of any
more we would be glad for you to let
us know. You will undoubtedly find
some names on this list that you have
not on the rolls of the Association or
in the directory. I suggest that you
get a copy of the Aggie to those men
on this list that do not receive it.
I have been counting on being back
to College for the Turkey Day game,
but all indications point toward my
getting a job which will prevent my
being there. However, if I can’t be
there in person I will be there in
spirit.
Yours for a Southwestern
Championship,
C. L. Wall, 24.

OLD TIME AGGIE
SERVES USEFUL LIFE
H. J. Miller, ’83, has served one of
the most useful lives we know of.
For 25 years he was a merchant and
planter. During that time he served
in the 34th., 35th., and 36th., Texas
legislatures. He has served his State
in business life and in political life.
He has retired now to his home in
Bellville and engages in farming and
some investment business. When in
school Miller won medals for being
the best mathematician and also for
being the best rifle shot in the corps.
He was also Captain of old “D” com-
pany in the corps.
A. W. Bittle, ’94, with the South-
western Louisiana Institute, Lafay-
ette, Louisiana, said that he would
have his ear to the ground to hear
Texas get an awful fall on Thanks-
giving day. We felt the same way
about it.

G LARGE CROWD AT BRAZOS A. AND M.
CLUB LUNCHEON DECIDES ON A
ROUSING RECEPTION FOR EXES
The Mess Hall Annex at the A.
and M. College was quite comfort-
ably filled with members of the Bra-
zos County A. and M. Club for its
re-organization meeting on Monday |
night, the luncheon getting under way
at 7:00, following the returning of
thanks by Rev. Wm. N. Sholl, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church of
Bryan. Colonel Ike Ashburn presided
over the meeting as toastmaster. Af-
ter the repast, Col. Ashburn stated
the object of the meeting to ne to
“oxtend a welcome of some warg:th to
the old men who are coming back
here this week. Some plans have been
worked out by the executive commit-
tee,” he said, “which will be present-
ed to you for your consideration.”
Col. Ashburn stated that he visited
first one club and then another over
the state and the first question he
was usually asked was “What is the
Brazos County Club doing?” and he
said that his reply had ‘not been fav-
orable in the past but hoped that it
would be in the future and that the
indications, from the large number
present at this meeting, were that a
live club was being formulated.
J. Webb Howell Speaks.
J. Webb Howell was the first man
called upon and he advocated having
a luncheon meeting at least once a
month. He said that while the Brazos
County Club had been a dead one,
iwe only got out of a thing what we
put into it and it was necessary to
get behind the club and revive it to
the end that great things might be
accomplished. “Where would we be
without the A. and M. College? he
asked. The first thing we should do,
he advocated, is to build a string of
houses between Bryan and College
and there take care of another thous-
and or so students attending the
school, or to provide more dormitory
room for those who want to attend
the institution. When we get behind
these movements, he said, we will get
something done.
Charles E. Friley was next called
upon and said that some badges
were to be printed and the first thing
Thursday morning members would be
) Se
expected to put them on and just as
soon as they could to come out to Col-
' lege and mingle with the visitors and
‘ exes and be of service in any way pos-
, sible. He asked that they be at the
reception for Governor Miriam Fer-
guson and her party, laying special
stress upon this point. ;
Fifty Dollars Raised.
F. E. Lichte was the final speaker
on the program and after thanking
the gathering for their fine response
to his plea for a good attendance, he,
as president, named a reception com-
mittee as follows: B. D. Marburger,
chairman; A. B. Conner, W. Wip-
precht, M. T. Harrington, C. J. Fin-
ney, Fred Hale, W. G. Barnes, A. L.
Smith; and named S. C. Evans as
chairman of the badge committee with
power to draft anyone or more he
needed as helpers.
J. A. Peterson took the floor to
suggest a free-will offering at the
door as the members filed out to
take care of the expenses incident to
the caring for exes and visitors on
Turkey Day, and while Dean Friley
held the hat, the members dropped in
a total of nearly $50.

FLYING FIELD
NAMED IN HONOR
OF AGGIE HERO
Tucson, Ariz., Names New Aviation
Field in Honor Samuel Howard
Davis, ’17, World War Veteran.
Honor has been added to the name
of another of the many sons of the
A. and M. College of Texas who gave
their lives in the service of their coun-
try.. The citizens of Tuscon, Ari-
zona, in selecting a name for their
new flying field have perpetuated the
memory of two of the illustrious sons
of that city who died in the service
of their country. Davis-Monthan
Field, Tucson’s latest contribution to
aeronautcis, is named for Lieutenants
Sampel Howard Davis and Oscar
Monthan.
Davis was once a Texas Aggie, com-
ing from Tucson to College Station in
the fall of 1915 and entering the four
year course in mechanical engineer-
ing at the A. and M. College. Amer-
ica declared war in April 1917 and
Davis with hundreds of his classmates
rushed to the colors. He volunteered
in the Air Service. After a prelimi-
nary assignment at Fort Hauchuca,
the government sent him back to Tex-
as A. and M. College, which had been
transformed into a giant training
camp, to complete his training. Soon
after his graduation he was assigned
to Kelly Field, first in charge of air-
plane assemblies and then as instruc-
tor. While he never got across he
trained men who went over and made
glorious records.
Following the Armistice, Davis took
up commercial aviation, but in Aug-
ust 1921, he returned to service and
was assigned to the government fly-
ing field at Arcadia, Florida, where he
met death in an airplane accident on
December 28, 2
BE AD
C. V. TERRELL, ’82, NOW
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
C. v. Terrell, who attended A. and
M. in ’81 and ’82 is now a member
of the Railroad Commission of Tex-
as, one of the most important govern-
mental commissions of the State of
Texas. He writes that he is strong for
the Association and the work that it
has planned out for itself.
Down in Houston Cy Edwards, ’25,
well remembered as last year’s Yell
Leader, is slaving for Henry Ford.
Cy says he is in his element and that
he is putting in some hard work get-
ting the Lizzies in shape to run.
AGGIE BACHELORS
BAND TOGETHER
FOR PROTECTION
Dallas Boys Throw Gauntlet to Fair
Ones With Organization Heralded
by “Tubby” Adams, ’23.
Up in the wicked city of Dallas a
group of young Aggies have banded
together for
wiles of city sirens and are runing a
home where benedicts reign supreme.
They have headquarters at 737 Sun-
set Avenue and have perfected an
organization that seems perfect. The
list of officers runs as follows: Pres-
ident, M. H.
dents, J. A. Mowlam, 25; F. K. Buck-
ner, ’23; and E. E. Ewbank, ’24; sec-
retary, E. F. Berendt, ’25; Laundry
clerk, O. C. Holecamp, "24; social sec-
retary, T. R. Halsey, ’25; placer of
bets, K. S. Palmer, ’24; janitor, W. T.
Quayle, Texas University, 22. Re-
ports state that the organization is
flourishing and that there is no chance
for any of the boys to lose their heads
or hearts. The boys write that they
have a place for any wandering Ag-
gies who need protection in the City
of Dallas.

CAPTAIN RALPH HILL
WRITES NEWS FROM
FORT MONROE, VA.
Captain Ralph E. Hill of the 61st
Cavalry, stationed at Ft. Monroe, Va.,
writes that he wants to see the re-
sults of the Aggie games in all the
nation’s papers. He states that there
are several A. and M. men at Ft.
Monroe, among them being Capt. L.
A. Hudgins, 12, D. E. Morrison, and
Taliaferro. Hill says he was in
Portsmouth, Va., for Armistice Day,
and that the best address of the day
was given by Jennings Crocker, ’16,

HEARTFIELD DROWNS
ALL HIS SORROW
IN GAY PAREE
R. C. Hatfield, promising young
architect of Galveston, is doing Eu-
rope and taking a liberal course in
those treasures of art and other treas-
ures which are to be found in Paris
and elsewhere. He missed the Thanks-
giving game, the first one he has
missed since he entered A. and M. He
says that he will toast to the Aggies
though that day and drown his sor-
rows in Gay Paree. Brother he can
sure drown them there, too.
