During the past 15 years Black

mained on this job through several
changes in city administrations is
proof of the fine work that he has
done.

FODDER

BA i
Football and other athletic fans
of the Southwest have been watch-
ing with interest the development
of the so-called “Bible” plan at
Texas University. Chief feature
of the plan was the raising of some
$15,000 to $20,000 dollars for the
purpose of providing jobs for ath-
letes. This column’s operative No.
5 reports the financial drive has
Leen a great success, and that Tex-
as University will have a really
great array of freshman athletic
material reporting next fall.
From some reports of the tactics
used in “Lining-up” some of the]
State’s outstanding athletic ma-
terial the guess is made that even-
tually D. X. Bible will regret that
the general plan is known as the
“Bible Plan”.
Aggie athletes last spring com-
piled one of their best scholastic
| records in history, with very few |
| attended the 1928 Class Reunion |
falling by the way-side. Not a|
single freshman football was lost|
and only one or two other lads. |
Thats a pretty good commentary |
upon the fine spirit among the boys!
and the good work done by J. W.|
Rollins, Assistant Athletic Direc- |
tor. Rollins has the duty of check-’
ing up on the athletes and spur-
ring them to greater scholastic ef-
forts and ambitions.
But before leaving the subject
of athletic material it may safely
be said that the AGGIES next fall
will again get their share of the
good boys. Not as many as answer-
ed the call for practice last Sep-
tember, but enough outstanding
material to maintain the balance of
power.
