“The A. & M. College of Texas
is entering upon one of the bright-

Mr. Perkins told the seventy-five
A. & M. men present at the lunch-
eon. “As former students of the
institution it is our responsibility
to aid in every possible way the
program set forth by the Directors
of the College and its administra-
tive heads. To be of the greatest
possible help we must have a
strong alert, and loyel Ex-Stu-
dent’s Association. I call upon every
A. & M. man to lend his services
and his influence to the end that

dreams.”

School Man
Waiting For
Dry Weather
Charley King, ’32, recently re-
turned from another season of
gold mining in the Republic of
| Mexico, and the AGGIE’S secret
cameraman caught him shortly
after he stepped over the border
and before he had opportunity to
remove his very interesting mus-
tachio. Charley and his father are
mining a rich concession deep in
the wilds of Mexico and believe
they now have plans lined up to
do well in their venture. King will
remain in Texas until after the
rainy season when he will return
to Mexico. When last seen he was
heading for his old haunts in the
Plains country of West Texas,
where he was formerly with the
A. & M. Extension Service.
W. Mulvey Goodwin, ’12, has
moved back to Dallas from San
Antonio. His new address is 5505
Merrimac, Dallas. He is with the
General Electric Supply Corp.,
and will specialize in rural electri-
fication.
C. Hal Jones Jr., 2b, is living
at 1418 North 7th Street, Temple,
Texas.
Orin McCarty, 26, who is with
the General Electric Co., at Pitts-
field, Mass., was granted a patent
in June this year on a Transformer
Connection.
D. B. Courville, ’32, and W N.
Wortham, ’33, are with the Gulf
Production Co., at Wickett, Texas.
E. R. White, 32, is with the Lan-
dreth Production Co., at Odessa.

One of the reasons the Oklahoma
City team of the Texas League
is well out in front in the cur-
rent season is the great pitching
of the veteran Ash Hillin, ’27.
Hillin was a star pitcher for the
Aggies during his college days and
has been a winning tosser in the
Texas League for many years. He
had one big trip to the big lea-
gues after a big season with San
Antonio, and may go back next
year if his present winning ways
continue. At last report he had
won 14 games and lost five.
Walter “Red” Cecil, freshman
track and football star, was lost
for varsity competition next fall
when he fell by the way-side at
final examination time this spring.
He will return to school in Sep-
tember, however, and expects to be
eligible in 1938.
All Varsity football players
came thru with flying colors scho-
lastically, although one or two
other freshmen lost out.
About the most popular place on
the campus this summer is the
P. L. Downs Jr.,’06,swimming pool,
located at Kyle Field. The big and
beautiful pool is crowded every
afternoon and night with summer
school students and campus resi-
dents. :
The Aggies this fall, barring
accidents, will have one of the
finest arrays of guards ever on
one squad in the southwest. All-
American Joe Routt heads the list,
but experts says he is no better
than his running mate, Virgil “Bra-
hma’’ Jones. Routt weight 195 and
Jones 190, and both are fast, ag-
gressive and finished players on
both offense and defense. As a
pair they compare favorably with
“Klepto” Holmes and Ernest Figa-
ri, of the championship team of
1927, one of the greatest “Pairs”
of guards the conference has ever
seen.
But as good as they are, Routt
and Jones both know a certain
large, tough gentleman who is
their team-mate and who at any
time might bounce either out of
a starting position. His name is
Bill Minnock, he weighs 212, and
he made his letter last fall. And
then there are “Brick” Olbrich,
190, squad-man who is improving
right along, Jerry Faubion, 200,
“Stumpy” Warden, 185, and “Pap
py” Drennan, 175, all with a year’s
experience as reserves. From the
freshman team comes a number of
nice prospects headed by Lehman
Rahn, 200, and several other husk-
ies. ’
FLASH: Virgil Jones, attending
summer school at A. & M., was op-
erated on for appendicitis last
Tuesday. He is recovering rapidly
at the College hospital and is ex-
pected to be in shape for the grid
season this fall. :
Speaking of Holmes and Figari;
Holmes is head coach at North
Texas Junior Agricultural College
at Arlington, and Figari is with
the Gulf States Utilities Co., at
Navasota. And how those lads
cleared the way for Joel Hunt and
the other Aggie backs in 1927.
Some of the Aggie coaches be-
lieve last year’s freshman team
had at least two boys who will
become All-Conference or better
players, and that not later than
their junior years. The boys are
Joe Boyd, 212 pound tackle, who
hails from Dallas and who played
center in his high school days and
at Junior College. And at Paris
Junior College the best he could
do was to play second-string cen-
ter. He is getting bigger each
month, is aggressive enough to
want to put on the gloves with
Joe Routt often last spring, and
WANTS to play.
The other lad is Waleman Price,
188 pound back, who calls New-
castle, Texas, home; who can
fire that football like a bullet, who
is a good defensive half-back or
line-backer, who is a fair runner
and plunger, and who MAY be the
answer to Homer Norton’s quest
for a punter. He’s just such a built
lad as Sammy Baugh, only a bit
larger and promises to be a better
ball-carrier than was Sammy. If
his passing and kicking continue
to develop he may overshadow the

exploits of Baugh. And next to
Joel Hunt, the AGGIE believes
Baugh the most valuable back the
Southwest Conference has yet pro-
duced.
Incidentally, an ardent football
fan who has been watching them
play in the Southwest for a long
time recently remarked, “I'll take
a backfield made up of Chris Cor-
tegmelia (S.M.U.), Harrison Staf-
ford (Tex. U.), Sam Baugh (T.C.-
U.) and Joel Hunt, and make any
other ALL-TIME Southwest Con-
ference team look silly.” Maybe
he’s right.
Camp Stewart, one of the fin-
est boys camps in the South, is
owned and operated by Bill James,
Aggie line coach. The camp is lo-
cated at = Hunt, near Kerrville,
Texas, and has been operating at
capacity this summer. Its second
six-weeks term will start July 19.
The camp is a great summer favor-
ite with boys and with the many
counselors who are Texas high
school teachers and coaches.
A. B. “Bugs” Morris, ’22, former
Aggie baseball and football star,
who for many years served as
Athletic Director and head football
and basketball coach at Abilene
Christian College, has also been
named track coach. His spare time
is his own.
Gaylord Johnson, Rice Athletic
Business Manager, picks Texas
University and Arkansas as the
top teams of the conference next
fall. “The best set of fine backs
in the entire South if not in the
United States, veteran returning
linesmen, a fine freshman team,
and the ‘Pickup-’ following Bible’s
taking charge at Austin, will make
the Longhorns a top team,” says
Johnson.
John O. Cutter, ’07, is secretary-
treasurer of the Bratton Drug
Company, Palestine, Texas, where
he has been employed for the past
22 ‘years. His residence address
is 116 E. Pine Street of that city.
Promoted
Harold J. “Skip” Skipwith, 28,
is receiving the congratulations of
his friends over his recent promo-
tion to Chief of the State Highway
Testing Laboratory at Austin. He
has been with the State Highway
Department since 1928. He took
Chemical Engineering at A. & M.
“Skip” is an active member of
the Capital City A. & M. Club at
Austin and lives at 1708 Weather-
ford Road.
For the past 10 years, L. G
Kuempel, ’25, has been with the
Texas Power and Light Company,
where he is superintendent of
distribution for the Taylor District.
He is located at Taylor, Texas.
H. B. Palmer, ’12, 1615 Hidalgo
St., Laredo, is still feeling fortu-
nate over coming unscratched out
of a serious auto wreck. He was in
a car which turned over several
times but escaped unhurt. “You
think a lot of things in the few
seconds that you are bouncing a-
round like that,” reported Palmer.
J. B. Humphreville, ’12, is a
member of the firm of Blake Hum-
phreville, Inc., 2302 Jefferson,
Houston. The firm deals in plas-
tering materials of all kinds.
Humphreville was on hand for the
Class of 1912 reunion at Com-
mencement.
