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.

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

WALTER POOL JR. ’28
TOPS MARKET WITH
FAT BABY BEEVES
Walter C. Pool Jr. ’28, recently
topped the Ft. 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.

LOAN FUNDS
AID 160 MEN
WITH $12,500
In spite of diminished avail-
able student loan funds the As-
sociation loaned registration
fees at the opening of sschool
this fall to 160 A. and M. stu-
dents. 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.

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.

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-

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.

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.

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.
