Briggs Pharr Knox Lee Marshall A. & M. HOSPITALITY The Editor has had the pleasure recently of visiting A. & M. Clubs in Ft, Worth, Waco and Lubbock. At Ft. Worth they were entertaining the whole cadet corps and all visiting A. & M. men. At Waco they were carryin on the A. & M. Kountry Store at the Cotton Palace for the benefit of their student loan fund, At Lubbock a duck barbecue was spread for three hundred West Texas Aggies gathered there for the A. & M.-Tech football games. Reports come from Houston and Dallas of the attendance of over a hundred at their weekly luncheons. San Antonio is doing great things in their club and they are also active out in Amarillo and Wichita Falls. The Temple gang is as regular with their meetings as clockwork and with the fall the Beaumont Club has swung into action. Many more could be mentioned. These are enough to show the tremendous activities and interest of these A. & M. men. The Former Student who is not entering into this activity is missing some- thing good. Anywhere you go there is a warm greeting waiting for you that swells and warms the old cockles of your heart. Its the realest and the deepest and most genuine A. & M. spirit.

My Dear President Walton: As Acting Dean of Women of Texas Christian University, I wish to express my unbounding admiration for, and apprecia- tion of your cadets. While upon the Campus, and within the dor- mitories both Saturday and Sun- day their conduct was such as to bring honor to your college, and to each individually. We feel it was a rare privi- ege to have had you as guests, ind trust we may have you 1gain. Most sincerely, (Mrs.) Sadie T.

Besides the Colonel there are Charlie “Mink” Davidson, 25, and E. C. “Rip” Collins, 24. All of them are doing well and are living at Richmond. Youngs says to never mind about the street ad- dress. et Bob Chase, ’25 and 26, is struggling with Dick Goodson, 27, to see which will become President of the Texas Company first, both of them being with that outfit in Houston. Bob says he sees lots of the boys down there and they all seem to ba doing well. His address is 1907 Clay Ave. RISE OF L. J. BOURKE (Continued from Page 1) Puget Sound Company is not inter- ested in them they are more than willing for Bourke to undertake this work. He and his associates have made application to the proper authorities for the appropriation of water for two developments, the Lake Isabel and the Wenatchee River projects. The estimated cost of the two projects aggregates. close to ten million dollars and would produce 77,500 horse power. Bourke is one of the leaders in this immense project. His many A. & M. friends are pulling for him and wish him well in the huge undertaking, ——— pe —eeeee. SOG WHO'LL: GET IT? Who’s coming to the Thanks- giving Day Game from the < farthest point? This means ¢ only A, & M. men and those § coming with the game as the ¢ primary purpose. For the visitor : who travels the most miles to get here from his home a prize is hung up. Its a copy of this year’s LONGHORN, and believe me, that’s some fine book. It will be alive for the youngsters and it will show the old-timers what has been going on since their day. Let us have your mileage! : ® aaa Ca Og OL ORO OSOROR OR OR OR OSOROROROLOR OS OR OR OR ORO FRED BRISON, "21 HEADS BRAZOS COUNTY AGGIES Fred R. Brison, ’21, will lead the Brazos County A. & M, Club for the coming year with Sterling Evans, "21, Webb Howell, 94, and E. R. “Hico” Eudaly, ’10, Vice Presidents. Thur- man Munson, 10, was reelected Sec- retary-Treasurer. The above officers along with Norman Dansby, ’26, Chas. Friley, ’19, and C, H. Winkler, ’00, will constitute the Board of Directors. The Brazos County Club is composed of all Aggies in the County, in Bryan and at College. Plans for the reception and enter- tainment of all returning A. & M. men at Thanksgiving were freely dis- cussed at this recent meeting. The local club will have full charge of all regisgration andireception and will act, as hosts for the College on the big day. The A, & M. Luncheon in the Mess Hall Annex will be under their control and every A. & M. man must register in order to atttend as a guest of the College and the local club. INTERNATIONAL STOCK-JUDGING TEAM SELECTED After many weeks of the hardest kind of work and competition the In- ternational Stock Judging team of the | College was selected as follows: N. E. Ryale, of Jasper; R. R. Peeples, of Tehuacana; H. E. Howard, Devine; J. M. Bird, Dublin; W. S. Amend, Ideal; and T. G. Greenwade, Whitney. The squad was cut finally after a final competition and only after a practice judging trip to the fair. Mr. A. K. Mackey is serving as coach and feels that he has a team capable of giving a good account of itself, The team will leave College in time to get to Kansas City by Nov. 12, where they will compete in the Am- erican Royal. After that date they will spend a couple of weeks travel- ing through the Corn Belt States working on some of the best livestock in the world. The International Con- test at Chicago at the National Live- stock Exposition will open on No- vember 26. The great bronze bull, winner’s trophy, has already been won twice by A. & M. One more triumph brings the bull back to stay. —_——————————— Jim Forgason, ’25, is doing double duty over in San Antonio and reports say he is plenty busy. He is with the Grayling Oil Company and at the same time is coaching the San An- tonio College Junior College Football team. His team is new and green but has been improving all along. Jim is living at 230 Caroline St., in San Antonio. * kx * Fred R. Brison, 21, is at A. & M. again this year, teaching in the Hort Department. Freddy is an expert on pecan culture and especially on pe- can budding and grafting. $$ & % M. B. Kowalski, 06, is with the L. H. Lacy Company, Builders and En-{. gineers, of Dallas, and one of the best “Doc” Francis, Beloved A. & M. Dean, Hale, Hearty, and Young In Spirit, Despite 38 Years Service to Texas DR. MARK FRANCIS “He is as alive as his fossils are dead,” said the Frouston Post-Dis- patch in a recent writeup of Dr. Mark Francis. None are more aware of the fact than the A. & M. men who are fortunate enough to be in his classes. In his thirty-eight years at A. & M. College, eleven of which have been spent as Dean of the School of Veteri- nary Medicine, Dr. Francis has left an indelible impression on thousands of men whom he has helped to train. His engaging eccentricity and his lovable characteristics would make him an outstanding figure in the lives of men who know him even if he were not a scientist of nation-wide reputation. Dr. Francis came to A. & M. in 1888, after having studied in Ohio State University, the American Veter- inary College in New York, and at Berlin and Munich, Germany. Shortly after his arrival at A. & M. he took up the hobby of collecting and class- ifying the bones of prehistoric ani- mals. By dent of much interest and diligence he has stocked a museum which could not be duplicated for a small fortune. Besides the prehistoric relics he has a collection of four-eyed calves, skele- tons of human dwarfs and animal freaks which would overwhelm the owner of a side-show. In the Paleon- tological, or prehistoric museum there is everything from the bon Eocene horse, a doglike animal with five toes, to relics of the Great Mam- moth. By means of these specimens Dr. Francis has constructed the pre- historic history of nearly every sec- tion of Texas. Though his Paleontological research is well known in scientific circles, the most universally known of Dr. Fran- cis” works are his efforts in the fight against Texas fever in cattle. “Who's who in America” says of his work in this line: “It has reduced mortality from Texas fever from 75 per cent to 10 per cent and has made possible the importation of breeding animals of the highest quality to Texas.” He al- so discovered the hog serum which has prevented so much cholera among hogs, Great though Dr. Francis’ scientific accomplishments may be, his pupils claim that he has done greater good by impressing all who know him with his lovable characteristics of a scholar and a gentleman. The A. & M. Col- lege is more than fortunate to have him on its staff. AGGIES TAKE HARRIER RACE FROM LONGHORNS Only One Texan Ends In Six Highest Runners The A. & M. cross-country team defeated the Texas Longhorn team in the first dual meet of the season here Saturday. Five of the first six men to finish were A. & M, runners. Killian for A. & M. was first, run- ning the four and one-quarter mile course in 23 minutes, 15 seconds. Avila of A. & M. was second, and Blanton, the only Texas runner to win a place, third. Fourth, fifth and sixth places, respectively, were won by Haile, Moore, and Shumaker, A. & M. runners. . \LEVERETT, 27, "y BREAKS RECORD W. H. Leverett, ’27, breaks a record.
