Wilson, J. R., Torbett, O. C., Perry, E. J., Rowland, W. G. Third row; left to right: Riggs, T. E., Sanders, Sammie, Harris, G. F.. Barmore, W. G., Mitchell, H. C., Davis, F. C., Wilder, J.

M., Megarity, C., Riley, W., Adams, N. H., Coffin, J. W., Wilson, J. F., Murray, W. B. Never before in the history of A. and M. has a class of “Fish” showed up so well in athletics. In every branch of athletics many “fish” have been out for the teams, and in many cases they have qualified for the dif ferent squads. No small mention should be made of the part the pres ent lower classmen had in helping to develop our championship teams. “Fish” Tom, Henderson, Riley, Hanna, and Burns should receive honorable mention for the part they played in helping to make the 1919 football squad what it was. The year has been one of glorious victories in the athletic world for A. and M. and the freshmen are proud of the fact that they have been able to take part in the winning of these honors. Especially in baseball, track, j and tennis have they showed them- ' selves to be dependable men. With the uncertainties that hang over a man when he first enters col lege to fight, we have failed to de velop many outstanding stars in the world of sports, but without a doubt we will have a different tale to tell when another year shall have rolled around. The class of ’23 intends to return to school next fall with a de termination to make all comers fight for honors on the different athletic squads. The freshmen who have made good during the present school year are: Wilson, T. F,, came to us from Westley College after Christmas and proved to be one of the most power ful men on the all-company football team. Wilson has been “brought up” right since he came here, and we ex pect great things from him next year, both in football and track. Coffin, J. W., played football at Austin College for two years, and he is holding a letter from that school. He showed up exceptionally well as a guard throughout the company football and made the all-company team. Coffin is expected to do some thing on the team next year. Murray, W. B., was on the first squad and showed up well in the Southwestern game. He played full back on the scrubs throughout the last part of the season. Murray is good material for the squad and despite his ability as a “woman hater” we feel that he is going to take time next fall to make some man work hard for a position. Riley, W., “Todie”, played quarter on the reserves last fall. He showed good form and we expect to hear from him next year. Scofield, R. M., although he didn’t work very hard in the fall, he made a good showing on the all-company foot ball team. He played with the C-D company team and won the position of fullback on the final company con test. He is a trurty player and great things are expected next year. Kimbrough, M. W., played a good game as tackle on the football re serves last fall. He will be back next year for his share of the honors. Burns, R. F., did well as center on the reserve football squad last fall. He is determined to make someone work when he returns next fall. Carmichal, J. A., won his place on the reserves last fall. He will be with us next year. McGarity, E., played quarter on all-company team during the spring. He has his eye on the squad in the future. Adams, N. H., showed up well in football last fall by winning a place on the reserves as end. He also showed up well in all-company foot ball. Sanders, S. H., is one of the best track men in school. He has been winning consistantly in every track meet in which the Aggies have enter ed. We expect to see him sport ing a “T” when the season is over. Hailey, L., is one of the best dis tance men in school. He has taken first place in both the mile and the two mile races in several track meets. More than likely, another “T” man. Barmore, W. C., is one of our best field men. He has been winning in the pole vault and the high jump since the first dual meet. He has been making some good records. It is likely that Coach Clutter will deco rate him with a “T”. Harris, R. E., is developing into an excellent relay man. He has helped the team to win first place several times. He is a dependable track man. Mitchell, H. C., is a new man in the field and track work. He is develop ing into a valuable man. Davis, T. C., was showing up well on the track, but has been sick re cently. He is expected to show up in good form next season. Wilder, J. W., is out for track. He has been showing up well. Riggs, T. E., has shown up excef}*. tionally well in the relay and 440 yd. races. He also showed up well on the all-company football team by win ning a place as end. He is a winner this year. He will be a bigger win ner next year. Jones, N. W., played guard on the scrub basketball team. He is a steady player, and showed good form. Olson, “Pat”, is developing into an excellent pitcher. He is on the reg ular squad and has pitched several winning games this season. Henderson, B., is the best pitcher on the Aggie baseball squad. He has pitched good, consistant ball the en tire season. When others fail Hender son is sent to the rescue. He will certainly be a “T” man this season. Wilson, J. V., is on the regular squad playing second base in good style. Rowland, W. G., is one of our grap- plers. He is in the 145 pound class. Buckner, F. K., weight only 150 pounds, but he is showing up well as a grappler. He won from 158 pound State University man not so very long ago. He also showed up well in football by winning a place as full back on the reserves. McLowry, W. R., is showing up very well as a wrestler and boxer. He has had considerable experience at the game, and he will, no doubt, make a strong man. Ashwork, D. B., is a good man on the mat although he weighs only 135 pounds. He has done well this sea son. Haney, O. B., is one of the heavy weights on the mat. He is a good man and gives a good account of him-
