AGGIE WRESTLERS
WIN FROM TEXAS
BY SCORE OF 5-2
Get to Austin at 10 p. m. and Wrestle
the Same Night; All Matches Close
in First Meet of Season.
The Texas Aggies met and de
feated the Texas University in a
wrestling match at Austin on last
Saturday night. The Farmers won
five out of the seven bouts and wag
ed a very close battle in a sixth. The
matches as a whole were closely con
tested. The Aggies reached te Cap
ital City five hours late which put
them at some disadvantage as the
meet was delayed until ten o’clock.
The wrestlers had been traveling*
since noon and were forced to weigh
in at Hearne so that they could eat
their suppers. In the 115 pound class,
Nash of Texas won on two falls.
These were the only falls that the
University registered during the con
test. In the .*125 pound class Gard
ner of A. and M. won on two decis
ions. Matthis of the Aggies won
his bout in the 135 pound class on
two straight decisions. In the 158
pound class Buckner of the Farmers
won from Texas with one fall and
one decision. Ashworth lost the 148
pound match on one close decision
and two draws. Haney won his
match in the 175 pound class on two
decisions. Ramsey of the Aggies
got the laurels in the unlimited class
by one fall and one decision. Ram
sey got his first fall in a little less
than two minutes.

The “Powder Puff” wasexpected to
create wide interest but the indications
are that it will go beyond expecta
tions. Contributions are coming daily
Bryan, and even as far away
emicago. The campus is a sur
prising source of rich material, and the
close-at-hand touch by resident writ-
eds will add much to the interest of
the “Powder Puff.”
Many students have asked for con
tributions from girls in other states,
every girls’ school in the state has re
ceived requests, and many cadets state
that every letter they write contains
“Powder Puff” propaganda. With the
wealth of material coming in, we are
far from having enough and contrib
utors are urged to continue their work.
Any surplus of material will be used
in later editions of the “Bat”.
While a number of colleges are
strongly represented at present, the
bulk of material from C. I. A. is yet
to come and judging by the past,
from our sister college wil Imuch of
the rich “copy” come. Students are
urgently requested to include a para
graph in letters for the next few days
asking for contributions for the “Pow
der Puff.”
TENNIS COACH
ANNOUNCES THE
CLUB SCHEDULE
Dual Meets Will Be Held With Each
Texas Conference Team; South
western Conference Meet at
Waco May 14th.
Much interest is being manifested
in tennis and under the leadership
of Mr. W. H. Thomas, prospects ace
very bright for a strong team this
spring. Mr. James Sullivan, Bus
iness Manger of Athletics, announ
ces the following complete schedule
for the tennis team:
March 26th, S. M. U. at Dallas.
Apidl 2nd, Baylor T^niversity at
College Station.
April 9th, the University at Aus
tin.
April 16th, Baylor University at
Waco.
April 30th, the University at Col
lege Station.
May 7th, S. M. U. at College Sta
tion.
May 14th, Southwest Conference
meet at Waco.
This schedule includes both the
doubles and singles in each meet and
a better schedule could have hardly
been arranged, since the Farmers
meet all Texas teams in the South
west Conference in duel meets as
well as in the Conference meet.
JOHN ELDER VISITS CAMPUS
IN INTEREST OF STUNENT
VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT
John Elder, Student Secretary of the
Volunteer Movement, arrived on the
Campus Tuesday. He met with the
“Y” Cabinet and also held a large
number of private interviews with in
dividual students interested in the ex
tension work in the heathen and un
developed countries. On Thursday
evening he addressed the meeting in
tlje “Y” Chapel along this line of
work and explained it from an angle
entirely new to most of the audience
and one which caused much interest to
be aroused.

IK. WORLDS WORD fo-
ELEVATOR SAPEH
PILAR INCLINE
CITY OF BAH L.A_ BRAZIL
TJ AHIA is divided into an Upper and
a Lower City. Ore section is on the
top of a cliff—the other extends between the
foot of the cliff and the waterfront.
Four Otis Electric Elevators in two large
vertical towers and the Otis Incline Railway
pictured here, carry the people and freight
up and down the cliff. The Incline Railway
is built at an angle of 40 degrees; there are
two cars working alternately, each with a
capacity of 20 people and 1500 pounds
freight and the trip is made in 90 seconds.
Otis engineering has successfully linked these
two parts of Bahia. This achievement, big
as it is, is but one significant detail of the
world-wide service given'by Otis.
Most of the famous structures of the world
are equipped with Otis Elevators.

AG. STUDENTS
FROM GRUBBS
VISIT A. AND M.
The vocational agriculture class of
Grubbs Vocational College visited A.
and M. Thursday and remained until
Saturday night doing judging work
in the College Animal Husbandry De
partment in preparation for the Agri
cultural School contests to be held at
the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show. The
class worked with beef cattle, hogs,
sheep and horses.
Prof. Dan Kiber, a graduate of A.
and M. in the class of T7 was in charge
of the party. Inspection of the Col
lege plant was carried on during a
part of the time and the students
seemed highly impresed with the Col
lege as a whole and some signified
their intentions of becoming Aggies in
the future. They were especially
grateful to the Y. M. C. A. which en
tertained them while on the campus
and expressed appreciation to the De
partments and students who extend
ed courtesies during their visit. The
Grubbs Vocational College Club did
much in the way of directing the vis
itors about the campus and in en
tertaining them while here. The Club
has nearly twenty members and is do
ing active work to increase its size
the coming year.
The students of G. V. C. who were
in the party were: S. H. Springer,
Frank Tracey, Marshall Carson, Jack
Grant, Brooks Thompson, and Truett
Billups. ■
What Is Air Pressure?
^TTMTE air is composed of molecules. They constantly
bombard you from all sides. A thousand taps by a
thousand knuckles will close a barn door. The taps
as a whole constitute a push. So the constant bombardment
of the air molecules constitutes a push. At sea-level the air
molecules push against every square inch of you with a
total pressure of nearly fifteen pounds.
Pressure, then, is merely a matter of bombarding mole
cules.
When you boil water you make its molecules fly off.
The w^ater molecules collide with the air molecules. It takes
a higher temperature to boil water at sea-level than on Pike’s
Peak. Why? Because there are more bombarding molecules
at sea-level—more pressure.
Take away all the air pressure and you have a perfect
vacuum. A perfect vacuum has never been created. In the
best vacuum obtainable there are still over two billion mole
cules of air per cubic centimeter, or about as many as there
are people on the whole earth.
Heat a substance in a vacuum* and you may discover
properties not revealed under ordinary pressure. A new
field for scientific exploration is optfned.
Into this field the Research Laboratories of the General
Electric Company have penetrated. Thus one of the chem
ists in the Research Laboratories studied the disintegration
of heated metals in highly exhausted bulbs. What happened
to the glowing filament of a lamp, for example? The glass
blackened. But why? He discovered that the metal dis
tilled in the vacuum depositing on the glass.
This, was research in pure science — research in what
may be called the chemistry and physics of high vacua. It
was undertaken to answer a question. It ended in the dis
covery of a method of filling lamp bulbs with an inert gas
under pressure so that the filament would not evaporate so
readily. Thus the efficient gas-filled lamp of today grew out
of a purely scientific inquiry.
So, unforeseen, practical benefits often result when
research is broadly applied.
