TURKEY DAY.
The greatest crowd in the history
of the College visited the campus on
Thanksgiving Day. There were never
so many Former Students together
upon the campus before and apparent-
ly every one of them enjoyed himself
to the fullest. The A. & M. College
has something to be thankful for in
this mighty multitude of loyal sons.
The Former Students have something
to be thankful for in this school of
theirs that has served them so well
in the past.

LOAN FUND GIFTS.
Another twenty A, & M. boys will
be enabled to continue in school this
year and in the years to come thru
two gifts during the holidays to our
Student Loan Funds of $1,000 each.
The first came from the Waco A. &
“+ F-Fub, hard earned thru their Koun-
try Store at the Cotton Palace. The
second came from a business and
professional man of the State who
does not wish his name to be used.
This club and this gentleman will
cause “Thanksgiving” among many
boys for many years to come thru
their splendid gifts.

A. & M. MOTHERS
ORGANIZE CLUB
AT HOUSTON
Houston is the newest city of the
State to organize an A. & M. Moth-
er’s Club, the good women of that
city forming such an organization
recently. They are organized for the
purpose of helping A. & M. boys in
gercral, their own sons in particular,
and the College in any way within
their power. Officers of the Club are
as follows: President, Mrs. J. G.
Toland; 1st Vice President, Mrs. Al-
bert Chimene; 2nd Vice President,
Mrs. Lewis Davis; Secretary, Mrs. M.
M. Moore; Treasurer, Mrs. M, M.
Shumate; Corresponding Secretary,
Mrs. Travis Smith. With this group
of officers the Houston Club should
prosper. They plan to cooperate at
all times with the Houston A. & M.
Club and with the Association,
28--7 Victory Over Longhorns
The above pictures show the thrill-
ing and spectacular manner in which
the Aggies tallied their first counter
in the first few minutes of the game
here Turkey Day. With the ball on
their own 40-yard line two plays car-
ried it over the Texas goal line for
a touchdown. In the top picture Bur-
gess, fleet Aggie full is shown on his
way to the Texas one yard line. Hunt
shot a fifteen yard pass over the cen-
ter of the line to Sikes, No. 21 in the
cut, and Sikes passed it backwajls to
Burgess. The play was perfectly ex-
ecuted and Burgess was barely kept
from carrying it over by the Texas
safety-man. The touchdown came a
second later. Discarding the ortho-
dox line buck as a means of making
that last yard Hunt called for another
tackled as he went over for the touch-
pass play that worked to perfection.
Dorsey took the ball as if to drive
over right tackle but turned near the
line of serimmage and made a short
lateral pass to Hunt who is seen go-
ing over in the lower picture. He was
down. The pictures also show the
Luge crowds that thronged and packed
the field at both sides and the ends.
A. & VM. HARRIERS
TOP CONFERENCE
IN DALLAS MEET
Consistency of Farmer ‘Hill-an-Dalers’
Brings First Conference Title
of Year to A. & M.
Turning in the first Conference
Championship of the year and giving
the old dope bucket a vigorous boot
the Aggie Harriers won the confer-
ence cross-country title in a thrilling
win at Dallas over Rice, Texas, S. M.
U. and T. C. U. Rice had defeated
the Farmers at Houston the week be-
fore and their victory was an ex-
ample of the ability of A. & M. teams
to “come back.” The course is four
and one-half miles long. The Aggies
won thru general team superiority
as Rice and Texas men won first and
second places as far as individuals
were concerned. The scores were A.
& M. 33; Rice 44; Texas 71; S. M. U.
83. For the Aggies Killian finished
third, Haile fifth, Avila sixth, Chil-
ders eighth, Thompson tenth, Moore
twelfth, Shoemaker fifteenth. Many
people are not acquainted with cross-
country running but it is rapidly
gaining in popularity. The team with
the lowest score wins, a team being
composed of seven men. The Aggies
won the conference title year before
last, also, and as three of the above
team are sophomores prospects are
excellent for next year. The team is
coached by S. D. Snider and Track
Coach Frank Anderson.

Field’s history and many were not
able to secure seats at the last mo-
ment and were unable to see the
game. Twenty-two special trains
brought in thousands and automo-
biles came in by droves. The drill
field was covered with motors and the
tracks for miles on each side of Col-
lege were littered with the special
trains. In all the rush there were no
mishaps, the day going off as nicely
as the weather, which was perfect.
The A, & M. Former Student’s
Luncheon at noon in the Mess Hall
Annex came next in importance to
the game itself. The affair was com-
plimentary to the visiting Aggies by
their good friend Mr. W. A. Duncan,
who has the task of feeding the 2500
A. & M. cadets three times a day,
and fully twelve hundred A, & M.
men and their families were fed that
noon. So great was the crowd that
no program was attempted but every-
one was so busy greeting old class-
mates that it was scarcely missed.
It was a great day and one that
will not be soon forgotten by A. &
M. men. Everybody seemed to be
here and everybody seemed to have
a wonderful time.
