ALL ADS RUN UNTIL ORDERED OUT. and time to save the day was growing short, they fought on with all the strength and will that God ever breathed into a clean body. They gave the best that was in them and more we cannot ask. One cannot always win but to go down to defeat at the hands of a team which we have considered our greatest rival is a bitter pill to take. We do not lay claim to bravery, let others say that, but we try to achieve that quality. Someone has said that, “Defeat to a brave man is a tonic.” It will not be hard to forgive for we have no bitter feelings against men we went to grammar and high school to gether with, but we shall not forget until we have defeated them at the same game we have just playd.

Under some conditions defeat might be a bitter dose to swallow. When a goal line crossed for the first time in two years it might be expected that morale and spirit would be broken. But we are proud of the fact that such has not been true among the Aggies. The student body did not exert their greatest energies in rooting until the team began to give way before the on slaughts of the Texas Longhorns. With the score against us and the time too brief for hope to arise the support increased as a wind grows into a hur ricane. The stands felt for the fighting team on the gridiron and the A. and M. spirit came through the crucial moments and the hearts of the Aggies of former years who were present at the game were thrilled to see that the old spirit could not be broken. Our Farmers lost, but we are proud of the fight they made, and the tears shed on the side lines by those in the old maroon- striped jerseys who begged to get in the game for just a moment, many of them for the last time they could ever line-up for the glory of A. and M., will not be forgotten. The A. and M. spirit is with us still, stronger than ever. And the religion taught by all traditions of supporting the teams whether winning or losing, will go through the years. No, defeat might be bitter under some conditions, but never with teams like ours. “OUR TEAM.” We went to Austin, we saw and were defeated—but we were not con quered I We met dfeat at the hands of a very worthy opponent and we are offering no alibi, but we still maintain that we had the best team. We always have had and trust that we may in the years to come. We are proud of our team and the game they played. When defeat was staring them in the face, THE UNIVERSITY. More royally than ever in the memory of A. and M. were the Aggies received at Austin by the students of the University. Victorious in one of the greatest games in Texas football history, crossing the Aggie goal line for the first time in two seasons, defeating an unscored-on team, the student body of State accepted the results in a manner known only to good sportsmen. We will not forget the courtesies of State and will welcome them next sea son when they come to A. and M. to contest for honors on Kyle Field. THANKS. To our friends among the Campus folks and Bryan citizens who so hospitably opened their homes for our guests during the Hop, the entire stu dent body of A. and M. extend their most hearty appreciation and thanks. Such generosity and hospitality as we have observed are unrivalled in the land. It is a source of the highest pride to A. and M. students that such an expression of friendship is extended them. Mere words cannot express our thanks but in the years that follow, our hearts will warm to the citizenship of College Station and of Bryan. WILD ANIMALS OF TEXAS WILL BE KEPT IN ZOO Dr. Bizzell Asks Aid of Students in Obtaining Specimens Monday night in an address to the entire student body Dr. W. B. Biz zell stated his plan of obtaining in terest in a movement to conserve the native wild animals of Texas by es tablishing a zoo at the college. A number of animals including elk, deer, Javeline, and coyotes have re cently been transferred to the site opposite the station and housed in satisfactory quarters as a nucleus for this proposed zoo. Students -were asked to lend cooperation in obtain ing specimens for the collection. A number of animals have already been contributed and others such as tim ber wolves and prairie dogs are ex pected to be added to the collection at an early date. Today Dr. Bizzell made a request of the Swift & Co. people of Ft. Worth for a buffalo which they planned offering for sale. A small herd of buffalo, presented by Colonel Goodnight, owner of the largest existing herd in America, has been at the college experiment sta tion for a considerable time.

The money will be ad ded to the special trust fund, the in terest of which is used for the benefit of ex-service men. The fund was created by the National Executive Committee several months ago and was indorsed by the Y. M. C. A. The gift was made possible through the remittance to the Y. M. C. A. by the French and American governments of transportation charges for post ex change supplies. The first installment of $400,000 was received last spring and the final sum was delayed until the Y. M. C. A. received the last audit of its work in France. The meeting of the National Ex ecutive Committee, scheduled for November 15, was postponed indefi nitely.—American Legion Weekly. STUDENT DIRECTORY PUBLISHED Copies of the Student Directory have been distributed on the campus the past week. This is a most un usual publication, compiled and pub lished as a student enterprise by A . meyer Brothers. Every student is listed in alphabetical order, his class, course, home address, rank, and campus room number are all given, making a perfect directory of the 1700 students of the college.
