STOCK JUDGES.
DO WELL AT
BIG CONTESTS
Take First at Kansas City and Fifth
at Chicago—Agricultural Colleges
Frem Whole Country Compete.
After winning handily at the Amer-
ican Royal Livestock Show at Kan-
sas City the Aggie stock judging team
journeyed over to Chicago for the In-
ternation Livestock Exposition and
the annual international judging con-
test. Brilliance of the Oklahoma A
and M. team beaten at Fort Worth
Ladly and beaten badly again at Kan-
sas City by Texas, carried the Rec
Skins to victory in the International
with the Texas Aggies finishing ir
fifth place. Hogs proved the undoing
of the A. and M. of Texas team the
College Station lads finishing fifteenth
in that class. They finished fourth ir
horses, fourth in cattle, and third ir
sheep.
Oklahoma A. and M. won first; Il
linois, second; Ontario, third; Iowa,
fourth, and Texas fifth. One happy
feature of the result of the contest,
however, was that the bronze bull dic
not pass permanently into the hand:
of any team. Iowa, Purdue, Kansas,
and A. and M. all had won the tro-
phy twice and a win by any of these
institutions would have made the
award permanent. Oklahoma has
never won this trophy before, how-
ever.
Texas A. and M. sent a seasoned
team to Chicago with the hope of win-
ning. They were joined at Chicago
by “Runt” Prof. W. L. Stangel, for
many years coach of the A. and M.
tcam, and by Dean E. J. Kyle, of the
School of Agriculture. “Runt” now is
the head of the department of agri-
culture at Texas Tech. Professor D.
W. Williams, head of the department
here, coached the team this year. On
the team were W. M. Pinson, of For-
ney; J. C. Idol, of Coleman; Jack
Turner, of Hillsboro; Gordon Gilles-
pie, of Coleman, and E. G. Talbot, of
Fort Worth.
The following telegram from Pro-
fessor Williams is self-explanatory:
“Talbot high man on sheep, seven-
teenth in total; Idol twenty-second;
Turner thirty-first; Gillespie thirty-
seventh; Pinson forty-second, with
110 men competing. Only eighteen
points between our men and the score
they made would have won here prac-
tically every year in the history of
contest except this. We did not have
a single real bad placing.”
LOUIE POWELL
HEARS RADIO STORY
OF AGGIE VICTORY
L. H. Powell, Chicago, says that he
could not pick up Stations WBAP,
Fort Worth Record-Telegram and
WTAW, A. and M. College, in their
cooperative broadcast of the Thanks-
giving game for the first three periods
but that begining with the fourth
quarter he had perfect reception. He
called up Frenchy LeLaurin the stock
judging team and several other Ag-
gies and gave them immediate word
of the Turkey day victory. “Sure was
one happy day for me,” Louis said.
Jules Keller, of Leesville, La., was
another old Aggie who got the game
in fine shape. Guy Cornett of San
Antonio heard the story. Down at
Harlingen Arthur Potts, Mrs. Potts,
Ben Chambers, Miss Nolan, county
agent, and others staged a celebration
as they got the play direct from the
field.

BENNIE WILL SIGN EM UP

Bennie F. Gray, 24, writes in from
Woodville asking that we send him
some blank notes in as much as he
thinks he will be able to sign up some
old A. and M. men around his county.
He says that L. D. Steffans, 24, Bob
Matchett, 24, David Baxt, ’25, all
with the Purina people, Johnnie Car-
lisle, ’22, who is selling fertilizers
for Swift and Company and little

Out at Washington the secret has
come out of the success of the eleven

a coast championship. They have five

Eating their hearts out on the side-
lines at the Turkey-Day game were
the men that Bible and Rothgeb must
largely depend on next year when so

missing. And although the reserves

fall there are some real men among
them.

The Farmers will lose Irvin, Beu-
el, Eitt, Dansby, Ochterbeck,
Wilson, Berry, McGuire, Kishi, Cur-
ry for sure and most likely will also
lose Dieterich, Watts, Speed and Bra-
zelton. The latter have another year
of conference play but are expected
to graduate this year.

If they all leave, however, there
will be left in the line Sikes and Def-
febach at ends, Woodland and Sprott
at tackles, Rektorik at guard, Hunt,
Woodman, Colgin, Willis, Bethea and
others in the backfield. And don’t
overlook that fish team that Johnie
Bender has coming up.

Baylor, early season favorite for
the championship, fell far and hard.
S. M. U. another favorite did the
same and Rice and Texas were dis-
appointments. A. and M. and T. C. U.

In fact the Aggies did pretty well.

Sikes set a record for long runs in
Texas-A. and M. games when he gal-
loped 92 yards last Thursday after
intercepting a pass. Wilson made the

Red Grange lost no time after his
last game for Illinois in leaving
school and foregoing his diploma in
order to get into the easy money of
professional football. He and his
team-mate, Britten, will likely make
a fortune in the next few weeks.
From a business standpoint they are
wise. Fame, in the athletic world, is
fleeting and next fall some other
school will cut loose with the year’s
sensation and Grange will begin to
be forgotton, at least by the general
public.

BELL COUNTY AGGIES
As our regular November meeting
would have fallen on the Friday night
after Thanksgiving, we ran the date
up and had the meeting, Nomember
19th.
It was the best meeting that we
have had this year, especially in the
attendance of our own members
There were nineteen there. As special
guests, we had the Temple High
School (Wildcat) football squad and
the two coaches. They seemed to en-
joy the occasion very much and went
away a good deal wiser than they
came, along the line of A. and M.
College. Short talks were made by
Col. P. L. Downs, Vade Forrester,
Coach Russell, Coach Henderson
(both, Howard Payne men), Team
Captain Haywood Shull, and the
principal speaker of the evening was
Luke Ballard. He made one of the
strongest talks that
heard him give and he certainly did
put A, and M. College before those
high school boys in a forceful way.
After his talk, the visitors left and
the club went into a business session.
There was quite-a bit of business
disposed of, and this being the time
I have ever,
1
{
appointed, the club went into the
election of officers for 1926. After
the report of the nominating com-
mittee was heard, the following offi-
cers were elected: Lee T. (Red) Tay-
lor, President; George E. Byars, Vice-
President; and Lewis K. Black, Sec-
retary and Treasurer.
We feel like we are getting A. and
M. College pretty well advertised
through this section. Had Luke Bal-
lard with the high school boys to-
night. On next Thursday, some Tem-
ple business men are sending the en-
tire Temple football squad to Col-
lege Station to see the football game.
On Friday, December 4th, the Tem-
ple Lions Club will have the annual
banquet for the football squad, and
at that time, Coaches D. X. Bible and
Chief Bender will be their guests and
be the speakers of the evening. Some
time in January, the Lions Club is to
have Mr. Walton over for a meeting.
On December 24th., the Aggieland
Orchestra will be here to play for a
dance to be given by the present’stu-
dent A. and M. Club from Bell coun-
ty. That will be attended by high
school students from all over Bell
county.
