Frances Jane Puckett, born No
vember ninth, nineteen hundred
twenty, Mr. and Mrs. David Mills
Puckett. 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

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

pecially urge all their groups to be
present as there will be no devotional
meetings Sunday. All students are re
quested to attend..

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.
