NO. 13 Ee — pe — CC —————— LUCKLESS AGGIES SCHOOL YEAR BRINGS MANY FACULTY CHANGES AT A. & M.- MITCHELL NEW COMMANDANT John E. Mitchell ’29, Lieutenant- Colonel on the staff of Governor Ross Sterling, has been named Command- ant of Cadets at the A. and M. Col- lege, following the severing of this position and that of Professor of Military Science and Tactics. The two posts have been held by the same man since Ike Ashburn left the office of commandant. Lieuten- ant-Colonel A. R. Emory, U. S. A, has been detailed to the College to replace Col C. J. Nelson, and will serve as head of the military depart- ment. : This change brings all matters of discipline and student affairs under the commandant’s office with the mil- itary department having charge of the military courses and instruction. John E. Mitchell, who graduated with the class of 1929, served as as- sistant commandant under Col. Nel- son. In addition to his rank as a member of the Governor’s staff he is a First Lieutenant of artillery in the U. S. Officers’ Reserve. He is a graduate of civil engineering, is mar- ried and makes his home on the campus. Several important changes in ad- ministrative and faculty personnel at the A. and M. College have become effective with the opening of the new school year. Dean F. C. Bolton, dean of the school of engineering and head of the electrical engineering de- partment became dean of the college, replacing Dean Chas. Puryear, who is now Dean Emeritus of the College. Dr. T. D. Brooks, formerly of Bay- lor University, became dean of the graduate and dean of the school of arts and sciences, replac- ing Chas. E. Friley '19, who went to Iowa State. Professor M. C. Hughes became head of the electrical engineering department and Professor W. L. Por- ter head of the mathematics depart- ment, posts formerly held by Deans Bolton and Puryear. Joe E. Howell 22, succeeds Dean Friley as registrar of the college. He has served as assistant registrar for several years. school C. E. GRADUATES OF LONG AGO GIVEN OPPORTUNITY T0 SECURE RECENTLY UNCOVERED THESES Ar Pe: Vo > os 2 “ w'’ - ~ © 0ld records may come back to haunt a large group of A. and M Civil Engineering graduates, with the recent discovery of a number of student Theses. A. P. Rollins ’06, rescued these fancy documents when the C. E. Department was cleaning out some storage closets, untouched for many years. These theses cover almost every conceivable subject along engineering lines and are an interesting group of papers. The AGGIE has salvaged these documents, and any of these engi- neers who wish to secure their sen- ior Theses can do so by applying to the Secretary, and sending 25 cents postage. Included in the list on hand are the graduating theses of the following: Name— Year FB MeQueen == ln Ce 1884 TT: Mockensen = fF toi 1885 F. E.

Worth Live Stock Market with 12 baby beeves which averaged 863 pounds and sold at $7.65 a hundred. He and his father are extensive feeders operating near Ft. Worth. The above cattle were part of a lot of 135 calves bought last December. A good portion of the gain was put on at low cost, the cattle being run in stalk fields and pastures until the first of June and then put into the feed lot. Last year the Pool’s fed about 1100 beef cattle. They also run a dairy of nearly 300 cows. Walter Pool, Jr. was Cap- tain of the A. and M. Rifle team and a Cadet Captain in his senior year. He has been in partnérship with his father since his graduation. WILL BROADCAST GAMES The A. and M. Athletic Council voted Saturday to re-instate the broadcasting of football games, it was announced by Dean E. J. Kyle, chairman of the Ath- letic Council. It is under- stood a mail ballot is be- ing taken by the Confer- ence on this matter. The news will be welcomed with joy by A. & M. radio football fans. Ea ae a a a a JC aa a a a da a Frank A.

A total of $12,500 was involved. The maximum loan was $100 and many of the loans were for amounts run- ning from $25 to $50. Most of the boys securing these loans would have been unable to at- tend A. and M. this year with- out the aid of this financing. August first, the date of the first loan applications accept- ed, saw the Association office fairly flooded with requests. These initial applications tot- alled several times the avail- able funds and the immediate task was to decide who should have a loan, and who should be turned down. Some few men were eliminated because of un- satisfactory scholastic records, others because of unsatisfac- tory records in the Command- ant’s office or in the fiscal of- fice of the college. There still remained many more than could be cared for. Seniors were giv- en preference as far as was possible, together with those boys to whom the Association had been loaning money for one, two or three years. Part of the unusually heavy request for aid arose from the new method otf paying college fees. Maintenance is now paid to the college under a monthly basis, and the college no long- er makes any student notes or loans. : It is doubtful if the Associa- tion will be able to make any additional student loans this year. Although collections on old student loans have been very slow, the Association has had % the encouraging experience of an increased attention to obli- , gations on the part of delin- + quent borrowers. Fewer notes 4 have been unattended than ever & before. Students owing the loan i funds have been very cooper- 4 ative in keeping the Associa- tion informed as to their loca- 4 tion, employment and financial 3 condition. Under these condi- 4 tions the loan funds will not 4 suffer, even though many notes 4 are “frozen” at the present + time. -, Ld oe * oofesfosfoefecfosioofocociortocociocicfocioctoifocfociocfocociocfeciociocfecfociocdrcociociroiodid 3 Jotoofocontocfotuodocontsofocontocfntsofoeontocfofuodocontsofofuntoefontrodocontrafocentoefocontocfofrofoentoofofustocfofradocontosfofrntocfofrofoconfosfotunfocfnfoofoeonfosfofrofocfntoofofonfocforfoofofonteefetondoce %. a i a 3 2 A A A A A A a A&M. 14; TEXAS A&LO Showing a weakness in the line that augured ill for their future con- ference battles the Aggies won on Kyle Field over the husky eleven from Texas A. & I. of Kingsville. Not until Domingue was inserted into the game in the third quarter were the Aggies able to score. The Frenchman dashed 40 yards through a broken field for the first tally, and scored the second a few minutes later on a 40 yard punt return. The visitors threatened to score with a fine pass attack late in the game. During three quarters of the game the Texas A. & I. line out- played the Aggies forwards. i ~— eel ~~ Harry D.

Richard C. Heartfield ’23, was re- cently elected President of the Beau- mont A. and M. Club, succeeding D. Pat Wheat 28. The club is planning another fine year of activity and is meeting at the chamber of commerce at 7 p. m. on the first and third Mondays of each month. Other officers recently elected in addition to President Heartfield were: R. O. Hopkins ’28, first vice- president; H. L. Ingram ’10, of Ned- erland, second vice-president; Mike T. Halbouty ’30, secretary and W. H. Caswell Jr. ’27, treasurer. Direc- tors for the club include Heartfield, D. Pat Wheat, R. C. Black ’17, S. C. Frost Jr. 28, Ted Krauel 28, and Mike Halbouty. Under the direction of these officers and directors the Beaumont club should continue in its fine work of the past several years. Among the projects of the club are the development of a student loan fund, the entertainment and encamp- ment of the farm boys attending the South Texas State Fair, and the se- curing of a big A. and M. football game for Beaumont. With that pro- gram the club will have enough work, along with the routine busi- ness of regular and special meet- ings. PL ARTHUR CLUB PICKS REDINGER AS NEW LEADER J. A. Redinger ’'30, was recently named president of the Port Arthur A. and M. club for the winter term. He succeeds C. W. “Red” Hurley ’22. Other new officers include Pat Doug- las ’'26, vice-president; James C. “Major” Fleming ’27, secretary; and H. K. “Pop” Deason ’16, publicity director for the club. Meetings are held on the second Monday evening of each month, the time seven bp. m., and the place, the Goodhue Ho- tel. Efforts of the club will be con- tinued to increase the club’s student loan fund and to carry on other pro- jects of the group. The new president, J. A. Redinger, is a chemist for the Texas Company. TULANE BEATS AGGIES 26-14 IN FAST GAME Using the ruling of their captain, “Nollie” Felts, ineligible as an in- spiration the Tulane Green Wave gave Matty Bell’s Texas Aggies an artistic trimming in their game play- ed before 15,000 spectators on Octo- ber first at New Orleans. The Green- ies needed no inspiration to prove a better ball club than the Aggies; and inspired as they were, they play- ed an invincible game. Those who saw the game returned with reports that Tulane was stronger than they have been for several years, and they were runners-up for National honors last fall. The Aggies scored first when Do- mingue shot a pass to Murray and Aston dived over for a touchdown from the three-yard line. From then on the game belonged to Tulane. Late in the fourth quarter a beauti- ful broken field dash by Pete Hewitt put the Aggies into position for Stringfellow to score the last Far- mer touchdown. In the meantime the Greenies had amassed a score of 26 points to the Aggies 14. The big star of the game was Don Zimmerman, All-American back of Tulane. Domingue, Hewit and Aston starred for A. and M. The Tulane line badly outplayed the Aggies for- ward wall, LOSE TO FROGS AGAIN POWERFUL T. C. U. TEAM TAKES ADVANTAGE FARMER MIS-PLAYS 10 PILE UP DECISIVE SCORE 3 EARLY APPLICANTS GET GOOD TICKETS THANKSGIVING TILT All those men applying for ‘Thanksgiving football tickets in the Former Students section by October 10th, have been mailed tickets located between the thirty and the fifty yard lines, according to information received from the Athletic De- partment. Additional sales to former students are expected to use up all tickets on the west side, down to the 20-yard line. The public sale will open on November first. In addition to their purchases in the former student section, members are allowed to buy as many tick- ets as desired in the general public sections. All tickets mentioned above are on the West or shady side of the field, opposite to the cadet corps. There will be avail- able for A. and M. distribution several thousand East Side tickets, in sections adjacent to the cadet corps. These will range from the 35-yard line down. It is generally regarded, however, that the West side! seats are preferable, and un- less otherwise specified all or- ders to date have been so fill- ed. The athletic department advises that plenuy oi addition- al seats for the big game are available. Seats for all other A. and M. games can likewise be secured from the depart- ment. Texas-A. & M. game tickets are $2.50 each, all other conference game $2.20 each. NEW YORK CLUB STARTS MONTHLY FALL MEETINGS The first meeting of the fall for the New York City A. and M. club was held at the Griffon Hotel on September 24th. There being no es- pecial business before the group the meeting was used to allow members to become better acquainted and with a discussion of football pros- pects and old days -at A. and M. Several of those present expressed a hope of attending this year’s Thanksgiving game at Austin Those present included Clayton J. Foster ’16, E. C. Rack ’15, Vandiver Brown, J. R. Powell 30, A. C.

The club meets each month and visitors to New York City should get in touch with some of the New York Aggies and join them at these meetings. A & M. 26; : S. HS. T. C0 Playing their first night game in history, and the first Conference game ever played in Huntsville, the Aggies trounced the Sam Houston State Teachers, 26 to 0, on the night of October 5th. The game was wit- nessed by a large crowd, including many A. and M. men from Houston and East Texas. Domingue was the big Aggie star, with Aston and Wil- liams giving him excellent support. Rt J. A. Carpenter ’31, is with The Best Foods, Inc., at Dallas and gets his mail at 1615 Denley Drive, that city. Matty Bell's luckless Aggies lost their first conference football game of the season when the powerful Horned Frogs of T. C. U. proved their supremacy with a 17 to 0 score. It was the most decisive defeat ever suffered by an A. and M. team on Kyle Field. Aggie misplays pav- ed the road for the Frogs first scores, their final tally coming in the last quarter on a pair of long passes. T. C. U. scored in the first quar- ter when Kitchen recovered Domin- gue’s fumble on the Aggies 37-yard line. Spearman, Oliver and Vaught carried the ball to the Aggie 13-yard line, but there the Farmer line stop- ped three thrusts only to see Tiner score on a perfect place-kick. The first Frog touchdown came in the third period. Gambling wildly in an effort to get the ball away from his own goal line, Quarterback Domingue called a lateral pass. The pass, Spen- cer to Domingue, was wild and Salk- eld recovered for T. C. U. on the Aggies 13-yard line. Power plays carried the ball over for a touch- down and Tiner again kicked goal. Late in the fourth period a pair of long passes brought the final T. C. U. touchdown. Though his team went down in de- feat, Willis Nolan, veteran Aggie center, turned in the finest defensive game of the day, and one of the best evar played upon. Kyle Field. JTime. ome and again he was down on punts to make the tackle. Incidentally, the failure of the Aggies to stop the punt returning of Spearman, kept them in hot water most of the after- noon. The speedy Frog safety gar- nered over 100 yards on punt re- turns during the afternoon. The badly outweighed Aggie line was not swamped by their heavier and more experienced opponents. The Frogs were never able to stage a sustained drive, though they piled up 11 first downs to the Aggies 6. The Frog defense completely stopped and bottled up “Frenchy” Domingue, offensive hope of the Farmers. The Aggies only chance for a score came in the second quarter when Cummings recovered a Frog fumble on the visitors 43-yard line. Domin- gue passed to Barfield for a nine- yard gain and Spencer plowed thru center with a mighty drive to carry the ball to the Frog 25-yard line. For the first time that day Domingue got past the line of scrimmage and twisted 9 yards to the 16 yard line. Spencer again plowed the middle of the line for a first down on the 13 yard line. At this point the power- ful Frog line braced and in three smashes Spencer and Domingue had gained only four yards. Domingue tried a field goal that missed by in- ches. } Although stopped cold by the Frog defense, Domingue nevertheless show- ed the 6,000 spectators why the T. C. U. players watched him so close- ly. He did most of the punting for the Aggies and did it well. Spencer, Aggie fullback, gained many yards on his drives through the line and Captain Aston played a fine defen- sive game. The Frog power and speed was too much for the Aggies. Outside of some apparently poor judgment, the Aggie play was not as disappointing to their followers as might have been assumed. The line showed enough strength to stop mest of the Frog power-house at- tack. Failure of the Aggie line to block out the huge Frog forwards caused the failure of the Farmer of- fense. ToC...
