Mc- Quillen ’20, of College Station, at- tempting the only oration. A feature of the program was a motion pic- ture show of some valuable techni- cal reels, particularly interesting to the engineers present and secured at some trouble and expense. Various cames were enjoyed during the eve- ning and many were the stories told and the reminiscences lived over once more. It was announced during the short program that regular weekly meet- ings of the club would start imme- diately and would be held each Thurs- day noon at the San Antonio Y. M. C. A. President Wharton stated that plans were under way to present in- teresting and pleasing programs at each meeting and other officers of the club extended an invitation to every A. and M. man in Bexar coun- ty to become a regular attendant at the club luncheons.

Festivities of an A. and M. nature started at noon with a big luncheon at the Capital Hotel and continued after the game with a big dance. A. and M. men were present from al- most every city in that section of the state. The Amarillo A. and M. club acted as host for the day and turned the event into the club’s an- nual Fall A. and M. Round-up. One hundred former students were present when the benediction was spoken at the noon luncheon. Carl C. Cox ’17, president of the Amarillo club acted as master of ceremonies for the luncheon and called upon a number of speakers after music and food had been enjoyed. Those present were welcomed by Mayor Ross Rog- ers '07, who extended to them the greetings and the warm welcome of the city. Short talks were made by Adjutant-General W. W. Sterling ’10, W. L. “Runt” Stangel ’15, chair- man of the Athletic Council of Texas Tech, Secretary E. E McQuillen ’20, and several others.

TAR IN MUD BATTLE TO OPEN SEASON Playing in the mud and rain the 1932 Aggie football eleven opened its season with a 7-0 win over the Texas Tech Matadors, the game be- ing played at Amarillo as one of the big features of the Tri-State Fair. The Farmers won the battle when they scored in the first quarter. The tally was the result of a beautiful dash around end by Clifford “Fren- chy” Domingue that advanced the Lall 35 yards. A few moments later Domingue twisted around the same end for five yards and the touch- down. There was no further scoring, with neither side making serious scoring threats in the remainder of the game. Bringing a squad of 55 men from their home corral at Lubbock, the Matadors attempted to wear the Ag- gies down by superior weight bul found that task impossible. The closest Tech came to the Aggie goal line was late in the game when they covered a fumble on the 27-yard line and carried the ball to the 18-yard line. At that point the Farmer line stiffened and the ball went over. Numerous penalties for roughness, illegal use of the hands and failure to halt their shift, made any sus- tained Tech advance impossible. Ag- gies received three penalties totaling 25 yards, while Tech’s tactics lost them over one hundred yards. oni ~The game was the first “big-time” tilt ever played at Amarillo and was witnessed by a disappointing crowd. Continuous rains previous to the game prevented many visitors from the surrounding territory. A spec- ial train of students and fans from Lubbock were on hand to aid the Matadors, while hundreds of A. & M. ex-students cheered their team. Domingue and Aston furnished the prettiest runs of the day, each turn- ing in a 35-yard sprint. Dowell, big and fast Tech halfback, was the star for the losers. Both coaches used many substitutes. The A. and M. line showed to good advantage on the de- fense. The starting line-ups: Texas A. and M.—Murray, left end; Jordan, left tackle; Lord, left guard; Nolan, center; Maxwell, right guard; Cummings, right tackle; Wright, right end; Domingue, quar- terback; Aston, left halfback; Bar- full- back. Texas Tech.—Martin, left Young, left tackle; Turner, guard; Fortner, center; Priddy, guard; Baker, right tackle; right end; Clark, quarterback; ris, left halfback; Butts, right back, Nichols, fullback.
