EE EE EEE EE EN SPORT FODDER : de oe of of of of ode of ok oe ok ok dk Texas University, with an over- whelming victory over the Rice Owls to its credit, is favored to win the conference track title this spring. Rice and T. C. U. will offer stiff competition. With a few breaks in the meet the Horned Frogs may win. They have a great performer in “Red” Oliver, who looks good for 15 points. If the points are well dis- tributed the meet might be won with 35 points, and the Frogs should get that many. The Aggies, although making a surprising showing this spring, have little chance at the title. kx kk “Honk” Irwin, sophomore Aggie weight man, is moving fast in the shot put. In a practice competition recently he heaved the shot 50 feet, which is getting up close to Olympic records. If he continues to improve he may be one of the outstanding men in this event in the world. * kk Xk And its only been ten or less years ago when a man in the South- west who could put the shot 45 feet was a wonder. : % kk The Aggie baseball nine is out of the title picture, losing to Baylor and to T. C. U. on its recent road trip. T. C. U. seems the best bet for the title, with Texas close on their heels. The Longhorns big trouble will be in facing the Farmers in four games. The Aggies may be out of the title running, but they are still a very dangerous ball club. * kk 3k And what a sight was the intra- mural track meet at Kyle Field last Sunday afternoon. Ninety entries in the 100-yard dash, 45 men start- ing at one time in the half mile, and the pole vault and broad jump re- quiring from one o'clock until five to be completed. Several hundred men took part, and there were some hot races. Out of the melee Frank Anderson usually emerges with one or two promising varsity candidates. * k Xx Incidentally Anderson has a strong freshman track team this year and will be heard from when the Con- ference meet rolls around in 1933. His freshman runners are stronger than this year’s varsity runners in nearly every. running event. oe * kk etson, sophomore’ Aoaie athlete. vi ~ satile.

A. & M. STUDENT PAPER PRINTED IN YEAR 1879 The earliest student publication of A. and M. that has come to light was recently brought to the campus by the daughter of L. W. Webster '79. The publication was the TEXAS COLLEGIAN, published by the stu- dents of A. and M. in April, 1879. This was only a few years after the college was opened to students. Lu W. Webster 79, the owner of the paper, was a student at the time. He now lives at Shreveport, La., where he and Col. Wash Hardy ’79, are great friends. The staff of the TEXAS COL- LEGIAN included T. A. Fuller, Par- is; J. C. McLemore, Galveston; W. A. F. Trenckman, Millheim, Chas. Rogan, Giddings; E. G. Cochran, Navasota; J. D. Perry, Palestine. It was published monthly by the stu- dent literary societies of the college. The four Cadet Captains of the day were Chas. Rogan, John C. Crisp, W. M. Sleeper and R. A. Rog- ers. Among the interesting features was an editorial protesting the action of the Galveston News in attacking the A. and M. College. “We believe the college will continue to grow and prosper, despite such attacks,” declared the editorial. The next oldest student document in the Association office is the “Olio” College Annual of 1895. — Rufus Peeples ’28, was a recent campus visitor. He is farming and doing well at Tehuacana, Texas. * kk J. I.

Friley ’19, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at A. and M. since 1924, Registrar of the College for many years and present chairman of the Athletic Council, recently accepted an offer to become Dean of the division of Industrial Science at Iowa State Col- lege, Ames, Iowa. He will take the new post on September first. Dean Friley rejected a previous offer by Iowa State College but the Hawk- Eye School continued its efforts un- til successful. Born at Ruston, La., Friley was reared in Bryan, was graduated from Sam Houston State Teachers College at Huntsville and attended Baylor University at Waco. He re- ceived the B. S. degree in agricul- tural education from A. and M. in 1919 and a Masters degree from Columbia University in 1923.

In addition to his other duties he has served as Reg- istrar at A. and M. for many years. Friley is chairman of the A. and M. athletic council and secretary of the Southwest Athletic Conference. He expressed deep regret at leaving A. and M. but felt that the Iowa offer was too advantageous to be turned down. No announcement or plans for his successor have been made public. In addition to heading the athletic council Friley is faculty chairman of the Y. M. C. A. and is a member and a leader in various other faculty and community movements. President T. 0. Walton and other members of the college staff have expressed deep regret at losing Dean Friley, though rejoicing in the honor and advance- ment that has been accorded him. Fourtee cultural students, representing 161]. schools of the State of Te as, were guests of the college at the a Smith-Hughes Day held recently. It was the fifteenth such occasion, a day spent in vigorously contested 158 teachers of vocational agriculture were on hand with their teams. Dean E. J. Kyle of the school of agriculture; E. R. Alexander, professor of agri- cultural education and other mem- bers of the A. and M. faculty were leaders in the program of the oc- casion. A. and M. trained teachers again won the lion’s share of the honors with their teams. E. D. Parnell 23, Runge, won first place in Poultry ‘and Egg Judging. He also was awarded first prize in the news writing contest for vocational agri- cultural teachers, with W. R. Heizer 26, second and F. E. Tutt ’27, third. Heizer is from Breckenridge, Tutt from Abilene. The team coached by W. R. Heizer won the Farm Shop Contest. J. M. “Red” Reynolds ’22, Sherman, won the Plant Production contest; Joe C.

Dairy judging, with 120 teams entered, was the most popular contest. The visiting boys were quartered in especially prepared quarters under the Sta- dium at Kyle Field. A feature of the event was the first appearance of the Future Far- mers of Texas Band, composed of 65 pieces and directed by T. K. Morris ’16, former member of the A. and M. band.

W. Kerr ’99, for many years a leader in the sugar industry of Cuba, was a recent visitor to the Campus. During the past year or so he has been doing consulting engi- neering work in Savannah, Georgia, but plans in the near future to open an office in Houston, where he will engage in consulting and mechan- ical engineering work of all kinds. He is a brother of Dr. J. G. Kerr, '98, of Beaumont, and has two sons who are graduates of A. and M. He married the daughter of the late B. Shisa, for so many years the College Steward. : Shortly after graduation, Kerr made some improvements in the su- gar manufacturing industry that took him to Cuba and for many years he was a leader in that coun- try in the production of sugar. He returned to the states two years ago and plans to remain in the United States. He expressed himself as being amazed at the growth of the A. and M. College since his last visit here. mee — ~ A. C.

S. “Shorty” Williams ’10, re- ports a recent meeting in San An- tonio with Johnie Fuller ’11. Fuller lives at Mason and invited “Shorty” out for a big deer hunt next fall. “That was fine and I fell for it en- thusiastically,” reported Williams, “but then Fuller told me he planned to also invite “Dutch” Hohn, Charlie Moran, Charlie DeWare, Scott Moore and several others. Now, the big question: do you think those fellows have slowed down enough with ad- vancing age to a point where I can feel safe among them?” This editor would feel fairly safe with any of them except Moran; he’ll never slow down.
