SAN TONE CLUB
Altgelt Ranch Scene Big Stag Party.
Weekly Luncheons to be Held at
Y- MC A
One hundred and fifty A. and M.
men were present in. September at
the annual Fall Chicken Barbecue of
the San Antonio A. and M. Club,
held at the Leon Springs Ranch of
George Altgelt ’13. Amid a beauti-
ful grove of trees were the barbecue
pit and the tables groaning with all
the picnic trimmings. President Hugh
Wharton ’28, widely known as a bar-
Lecue expert, had direct charge of
this important task and his com-
mittees functioned smoothly in car-
ing for all other arrangements. Re-
freshments were presided over and
properly arranged by Henry Eitt
Speach making during the evening
was scarce, with Secretary E. E. 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.
The annual stag party of the San
Antonio Club, held in September each
year, is now in its fourth year and
each year has become an increasing-
ly widely known affair.

FARMER VICTORY
FEATURES BIG WEEK-END OF
AMARILLO-PANHANDLE AGGIES
AMARILLO CLUB
ENTERTAINS FOR
VISITING EXES
Inclement and rainy wheather
failed to dampen thé. spirits of A.
and M. men in the Panhandle and
the Plains Country when the Aggies
played the Texas Tech Matadors last
Saturday in Amarillo and several
hundred were on hand for the day.
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

DOMINGUE. 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-
