CAMPUS
FROM THE
REVIEWING STAND
The Sports Parade
Frank Anderson’s well-balanced
Aggie track and field team opened
its conference season by swamping
Rice and Baylor in triangular meet
at Kyle Field. The Cadets previous-
ly had not looked impressive at the
Laredo Border Olympics and the
Ft. Worth Fat Stock Show Meet.
Johnnie Ziegler in the mile and
two mile events, Harnden in the
quarter and Haws in the high
jump, turned in the Aggies’ best
performances. First places were
also won for the Aggies by Leo-
nard Dickey in the discus, Young
in the shot put, Feagan in the Jave-
lin and Hill in the broad jump.
The Aggies also won both the 440
and the mile relays. Texas is due
to repeat as conference champion.
There’ll be few dull moments
in baseball with Lil Dimmitt and
Botchey Koch handling the dia-
mondeers At this writing the Ca-
dets are undefeated, tho opposition
has been woefully weak, The club
looks like a lusty hitting crew with
only fair fielding and pitching
strength. Earl Beesley, Dallas, re-
turned service man looks like the
best tosser. With all conference
schools except Arkansas fielding
baseball teams this spring the
race will be wide open, with the
exception of those perennial champs
of the diamond, the Longhorns.
Bobby Layne can pitch a baseball
as well as a football and already
has a no-hit game to his credit.
The other entries are a toss-up
so far with Baylor a good dark
horse.
SPLASH—TEXAS U, REGAIN-
ED CONFERENCE SWIMMING
TITLE FROM AGGIES
Spring football closed with the
following first string line-up;
backs, Willie Zapalac, Bob Goode,
Babe Hallmark, fish Pressly, Pres-
ton Smith, Earl Beesley and one
or two others running evenly; ends,
Cotton Howell and Country Hig-
gins; tackles, Moncrief and Dickey;
guards, Winkler and Stautzenberg-
er (watch that lad); center Hub
Ellis and Bill Yoeman.—Returning
service men could make lots of
changes next fall and Barney
Welch is almost'a cinch somewhere
in that backfield.
Mr. Whiskers in the form of the
draft could make the biggest
change, with an even 20 of the
first 40 members of the spring
squad subject to call. Among them
are Bob Goode, Winkler, Higgins,
Yoeman, who will hit 18, with
numerous others,

World-Wide April 21 Muster Plans
Valley Forge, The Alamo, Corregidor, Arlington Cemetery and
the tomb of the Unknown Soldier . . . . hallowed ground to all Ameri-
cans . . . will be among the hundreds of spots over the world where
Texas Aggies will “Meet In Prayer” in observance of their traditional
annual Muster on April 21, anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto
where Texas won her independence.
In Tokyo, the Philippines and throughout the Pacific and the Orient,
in Berlin and at other points in Germany Italy and Austria, and at
hundreds of places in America and in other parts of the globe the
fraternity of A. & M. men will gather on Easter Sunday to pay tri-
bute to their 700 comrades who compose the Gold Star Honor Roll of
Texas A.&M., and to offer prayers for the comfort of the families
and friends of those heroes.
They Feature Historic Spots
The Washington Chapel at Valley Forge will be the scene of the
Muster of A. & M. men of Philadelphia and the surrounding area. The
San Antonio Club will gather at historic Alamo. The Manila Club will
meet at Corregidor where on April 21, 1942, the most famous of all
Musters in the long history of the tradition was held under Japanese
fire and a few days before the fall of that fortress. The National Capi-
tal Club at Washington will hold services at the Chapel of Ft. Myer,
adjoining Arlington Cemetery and then move to the Tomb of the Un-
known Soldier to place a wreath at the base of that symbolic monu-
ment to American fighting men.
Between those far-flung historic places hundreds of other observ-
ances of the tradition are planned and being reported daily. Thousands
of A. & M. men are “Returning Home” and will he present at the Vic-
tory Homecoming and campus muster. Those unable to attend will be
gathered in their respective localities, absent in body but united with
each other in the spirit.
: Volunteers Still Wanted
Scores of volunteers have raised the Aggie banner throughout the
world and are taking over and arranging musters. Additional volun-
teers are requested to do likewise. If muster plans have not been an-
nounced for your area, contact other A. & M. men, make plans and write
the mto the Association of Former Students. This issue of the Texas
Aggie contains the names of Muster Chairmen now serving and their
plans where known. EVERY A. & M. man is urged to..attend the
nearest observance or to arrange one in his own locality. Copies of the
suggested standard program have been mailed to all muster chairmen
and will be mailed to any others upon request.
The 1946 Muster Meets In Prayer
The 1946 Muster will be the most solemn in the forty-four year
history of the tradition. Wherever practical, A. & M. men will hold
memorial services for their dead and pray for the comfort of their
families and friends. In many localities the families of all present and
former students have been extended special invitations to be present,
and the general public has been invited to several.
Valley Forge, The Alamo, Corregidor, Arlington Cemetery and the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier . . . . hallowed ground to all Americans
....and Kyle Field on the campus, will be feature Muster spots. The
Muster’s common ground will be in the hearts of All A. & M. men as
they gather on Easter Sunday in these impressive and inspirational
world-wide services. On that common ground all A. & M. men will meet
together that day.

AGGIES, PLEASE!
Since we have learned such
scanty information about Ma-
rine Major Paul A. Brown, ’29,
formerly of Galveston, Texas,
we feel that you or some broth-
er Aggie can help us. Major
Brown survived one of the De-
cember, 1944 ship sinkings, was
recaptured and taken to Fukuo-
ka Prison Camp on the Island of
Kyushu, where he reportedly
died. If you have any knowl-
edge of his experiences while
imprisoned either at Cabanatu-
uan or Fukuoka, kindly commu-
nicate with his sister, Mrs. C.
C. Edge, 1006 S. College Ave.
Bryan, Texas, or ’phone her at
2-1281 if you attend the grand
April 21 Homecoming this year.
Correction for Credit
The interesting article and pic-
ture in the preceding issue of the
TEXAS AGGIE telling about Dean
of Men, J. W. Rollins, his staff and
program, was a reprint of a special
story written in The Houston Post
by that well known East Texas
sage and writer, Morris Frank.
The proper by-lines and credit for
the story should have accompanied
the article, Thanks are belatedly
expressed to the diffident Morris
and to the Post.

Join in This
Victory Homecoming and Muster
On the Campus of the College

In solemn thankfulness for the victorious peace
which has enabled us to be together again, and
in humble tribute to those of our number who paid
the price of victory with their lives.
; So reads the frontispiece of the souvenir program under prepara
tion for the Victory Homecoming starting Friday, April 19 and closing
with the annual Muster and Memorial Service at Kyle Field on Easte
morning. Thousands of A. & M. men, many accompanied by thei
wives, will throng the campus for the big week-end.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower will be the honor guest of th
homecoming, and will speak at the Easter Morning services at Kyl
Field. He and the A. & M. men who have achieved the General's ran
will be awarded honorary degrees by the college at a convocation ¢

In traditional form A. & M. men will handle the Kyle Field Mus
ter and Memorial Services on Sunday morning. Lt. Col. W. A. “Bill
Becker, ’41, will serve as Muster Chairman. Lt. Col. Tom Dooley, ’35,
will speak on “The April 21st Tradition”. The Reverend Ray C. Terry,

will be read by its author, Dr. John Ashton, 06. John W. Newton,

to Kyle Field that Easter morning at 8:30, with everyone invited.
N Homecoming’s Greatest Feature
Despite the presence of General Eisenhower and other honored
guests, and despite the more spectacular and inspirational program
events, the greatest feature of the Victory Homecoming will be th
thrill in the hearts of A. & M. men at seeing old friends once more anc
of again spending a few hours on the campus with those old friends. In
formal class reunions will be more or less continuous throughout th
week-end, with special plans laid for such visiting at the A. & M
Parties at Shisa Hall both Friday and Saturday evenings.
Registration at homecoming headquarters at the Y.M.C.A. will b
by classes, with local classmates on hand to assist and to extend
welcoming and helping hand to those returning. “Welcome Aggies” wi
greet you both in College and in Bryan, with the Brazos County A. &
M. Club taking the lead in that warm welcome. The transportation
Commiittee has arranged for shuttle bus service on the campus and sug
gests that cars be permanently parked upon arrival. Additional trans
portation for special needs will be arranged by that committee.
. Registration, sleeping accommodations, transportation, phones
information, guides and other needs of visitors will be provided throug
the Y. M. C. A. headquarters. Local committees are at work upon ever
phase of the big event and will leave no stone unturned in providing fe
the pleasure and convenience of those present.
No Housing Problem, Yet
SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR
BOTH LADIES AND MEN. The housing committee has made arrange
ments to provide beds for thousands of men, and reservations can b
accepted for hundreds of couples and ladies. The cadet corps and local
citizens are cooperating wholeheartedly in developing the housing plans
Those planning to attend, however, are urged to make reservations
early as possible. A reservation blank form is printed in this issue. B
all means those accompanied by ladies should make early reservations
while such accommodations are still ample.
Shisa and Duncan Mess Halls will provide meals for all at reaso
able cost and a nominal charge will be made for rooms. A fifty cen
registration fee, for A. & M. men only, will cover other costs of the re
union. No charge will be made for other homecoming events with the
exception of the conference baseball games Friday and Saturday after:
noon, A beautiful souvenir program will be presented to each man
