Mr. Puckett is a T4 grad uate. Charley DeWare, an old A. & M. football captain from Bren- ham was down to imbue the ends with some of the Aggie fight ing - spirit that can be induced by the heroes of other days. Charley is a friend of every Aggie and one of the strongest supporters in the state. The Navasota bottoms are never too bad for him to steer his cut-down Lizzie through the mud to witness the Farmers in action. His presence on the field is always a pleasure to the students and brings forth a shout of greeting. Tim Griesenbeck, 3-letter-man ox ’17, and a member of that year s team, was also on the campus for several days prior to the game. His talk to the corps was of the pep- producing type. We are proud hosts to such men as Old Tim. “Scotty” Alexander, ’20, end on that Championship team of ’19, vis ited the college for a few days be fore the State-A. & M. conflict. Scot ty also gave the corps one of his brief, yet deep-from-the-heart talks that signify the feeling an old A. & M. man bears towards his school. Dudley S. (Wrinkles) Moore, was in Austin to see the A. and M. vs. T. U. game and came on to College Station to attend the Thanksgiving Hop. Sam Matthews, old C 2nd man, 1916, has been on the Campus this week, at tended the game in Austin and the Thanksgiving Hop. Robert Blair otherwise “Catfish” Goodman, was on the ground to lead a few yells at the Thanksgiving game. He seemed much at home in the Mess Hall and trips the light fantastic in a manner peculiar to ‘“Catfish” at the Hop. “Catfish” is located with a gas concern, the only A. and" M. man on record who has chosen the profession in keeping with the und/erlying train ing of the school. 1 Major Briggs, formerly of the 2nd Bu. 2nd Reg., is back on the Campus after seeing the ganne at Austin. Briggs has delayed hils return visit to the school until only,'the old guard were left to welcome hbn. J. A. Darby is here arid looking over the institution and grounds as an alumni. It surely look.s good to see the old timers come me/andering back. James E. (Pinkie) of -the Cast Iron Quartet, was over to see the game in Austin and came over for the Hop. R. F. (Pete) Foley was another vis itor to the Austin game and couldn’t resist the call of the Louisiana Five at the Thanksgiving Hop George W. Peteet, last year’ gradu ate and now I’esiding in Dallas, ac companied by Miss Clara Nell Mc Laughlin of S. M. U. and Miss Re becca George, are here for the Hop after seeing the game in Austin. J. C. (Slippery Hank) Calhoun of Teneha, former clog dancer of old D-T is very much on the Campus. ‘“Hank” says that about this time of year all the trains seem to run this way. A. C. (Concrete) Lloyd, ex-21, agreeably surprised his friends by stepping out of his haunts of Jasper and returning to A. and M. for the Hop. Old timers galore, and alumni far too numerous to mention were seen at the game at Austin. That’s the spirit that the school is proud of and The Battalion wishes to express it self in saying that A. and M. stands open for your return and will wel come you to College when time per mits your visit. JACK F. MAHAN. In another place in this issue the reader will find a record of Jack’s foot ball career. He is known on every campus and gridiron of the Southwest. A relentless player, clean, but de termined, he has won the respect and admiration of every football player in the South. But to us who know him best, say more for him. He gave more of his ability to this institution than arty man in recent years. He has proved an athelete in his playing and in his conduct off the field. He has been ein example and an inspiration to all who know him by personal contact. Level headed, determined and clean he has been a leader in every activity he has ever entered and those at A. and M. have been various and sundry. In the social life of this College, Jack has twice been president of his class. As a student he made the Junior Stock Judging Team and had he not been so engrossed with the team of which he was captain, would have made the Senior Stock Judging Team this year. A good all-around sport, clean and. loyal; a student not only passing all work, but with high averages; an athlete of the highest type being on Queen Masterplays Moday and Tuesday—The Most Talked of Woman of the Day Katherine McDonald - The American Beauty in a Society Drama of Fame and Beauty The NOTORIOUS MISS LISLE Also Big Comedy and Special Music No Advance in Admission—Attend Monday’s Matinee Wednsday and Thursday—Maurice Turn ear Presents “The WHITE CIRCLE” A Soul-Stirring Fiimization of “The Pavilion on the Links,” the World Famous Romance by Robert Louis Stevenson Friday and Saturday—The Clever, Original Beauty CONSTANCE TALMADOE In Her Latest Super-Comedy-Drama of Beauty and Merit A Perfect Womaii | DIXIE MONDAY— j|^ Buck Jones in “JUST PALS” Tuesday’s Super Special—Everybody’s Sweetheart, Featuring | Olive Thomas HI Wednsday—WILLIAM S.

AND M. Rev. Ben Rowland and Wife of Ying Tak, China, Will Speak to A. and M. Students Tomorrow Night No devotional services will be held on the Campus Sunday night as there will be a union meeting in Guion Hall to hear Rev. Ben Rowland and wife of Ying Tak, China, address the students on “‘China’s Challenge to A. and M.” With the experience of many years in China’s fields Rev. Rowland and Mrs. Rowland are expected to make talks of great interest to students in all courses. The need for men of all pro fessions will be taken up and espec ially the many and varied fields of work for A. and M. students in China will be discussed. Mrs. Rowland will probably appear in Chinese costume and render songs and speeches in the native language. Reverends Brown and Vivion, Student Pastors, es pecially urge all their groups to be present as there will be no devotional meetings Sunday. All students are re quested to attend..

A. ADAMS, Proprietor TEXAS AGGIE MELEE DR. W. H. LAWRENCE DENTIST Res. Phone 558, Office Phone 521 4th PToor City Natl. Bank Bldg. Bryan, Texas The Thanksgiving football game between Texas University and Texas A. & M. is causing some speculation in our community among local fans. Many believe State has the most powerful aggregation ever assembled in a Southern institution while oth ers maintain that A. & M. is the superior with the powerful Mahan and the million dollar toe of Higgin botham. An amusing bet has been entered into by two of our young citizens, viz: Charles James Frey and Carl Lewis Estes. Estes agrees, that if the farmers lose he will, on his hands and knees, crawl from Commerce Hotel around the Square to Com merce Undertaking Co., thence east to Post Office and back to the Hotel in full view of the populace. , If Texas loses, Frey agrees to | roll Estes around the same identical | course in a wheel barrow—Com merce Signal. HERE AND THERE The Battalion is patting itself on its back. A few issues ago it advo cated the cleaning up of the space between Mitchell and the Y. M. C. A. We do not know if that article did the work, but we like to flatter oursqlves to that extent anyhow, o—o—o What would you say if the depai't- ment of Modern Languages should require you to put in about seven hours a week extra work? Or if it required you to go to its movies? The department of M. S. & T. has no more control over our free time than any other department. A few doses 666 break a cold.
