The travelling Aggies boarded
their train Tuesday for San Fran-
cisco where they close their sea-
son against the University of San
Francisco.
The victory over Texas gave the
Cadets a 500 per cent mark for the
season against conference rivals
and pending the outcome of next
Saturday’s final should
place the team in about third or
fourth place in conference stand-
ings. That record is disappointing
to the team and to its coaches, and
to many of its followers as well,
but is not to be sneezed at.
games
This year’s team, by its fine
showing in New York City and
the presence of some of the na-
tion’s outstanding stars in Joe
Routt, Dick Todd and others, has
brought to Texas A. & M. some
of the finest national recognition
and publicity the College has ever
enjoyed.
Folks in Texas do not think
much about, the little item of na-
tional recognition, but here’s the
substance on one of several letters
received from A. & M. men living
in the East. Wrote Charles A. Bur-
meister, ’08, of Washington, D. C.,
“The attached rotogravure picture
appeared in the Washington Star.
The A. & M. College is better
known, and more highly regarded
in the East today than ever in its
history. We A. & M. men who
live up here are happy that our
fine institution is getting the re-
cognition that it deserves.”
And this type of recognition
progresses from football to other
phases, as witnessed by the follow-
ing quotation from a nationally-
known New York Sport Scribe
who wrote, “What is this school
from far-away Texas; Well, be-
lieve it or not, its the largest mili-
tary institution in the United
States, its the largest pariedltth]
school in the WORLD, its the s
ond largest engineering school i
the United States, its one of 5
largest men’s school in the United
States. They've got something
down there this nation should
know more about.”
So, even if the Aggies did not
go to the Rose Bowl or win the
conference title, they have brought
great credit to A. & M. and the
World’s not lost.
Frank Anderson’s Aggie cross-
country team took second place in
this fall’s conference meet, with
Texas U. winning the title.
Bring on the basketball season.
Football coaches are so accus-
‘tomed to the howling of Wolves
that they pay little attention, but
the Aggie staff was so surprised
before the game Thanksgiving they
were without utterance, when O. J.
“Buck” James, ’14, Quemado,
Texas, hove into Kyle Field with
the gift of a wild deer for the
coaching staff. And winning the
game so stimulated their appetites
they finished the deer within a
few days.

Joe Utay, ’08, 1510 First

left his overcoat in box No.
112 at the Thanksgiving game
to go on the field and congra-
tulate the winning Aggie
coaches and players. Upon his
return the coat was missing.

ed up by someone not know-
