Now if the p'g didn’t have a sty and yon 1 got corn from a blind sty then you ! made a m : stake—by not informing me. Dear Wifey: Never will I forget my little jaunt down to dear old A. and M. where I received my education and limit of demerits. I am sorry (always have been) to say that I received more of the latter than the former and that accounts for my early advent into the cold business world. Some people go out into the business world because of their own merits while I was forced out because of my own demerits. Rufus, ole student, as soon as I decided to accept this job in prefer ence to a room in the country board ing house and making small ones out of large ones (an honorable job for a single man) I was determined to make the cold cash but take my ad vice and don’t try to make cold cash by writing hot checks. I sure thought that I was receiving a royal welcome when I arrived at College because the band and the student body was down to meet the train. I was shaking hands with sev eral of the old boys and telling them how I appreciated the deference shown me when some one informed me that they were down to see the basketball team off to Austin. Well, son, you can imagine how small I felt if you haven’t forgotten your chemistry regarding the atomic theory. Man, I could have hidden be hind an atom then and would have gladly done so. I felt smaller than an atom because Dr. Hedges says that an atom cant be broken up and I was all broken up. Nevertheless I was glad to be back on the campus again and renew old acquaintances. I failed to collect that $2.50 I loaned “Hot Cakie” Mulvey three years before he begun wearing those big boots you see him in nowadays. He wont pay the $2.50 because he bought a manicure set for someone in Goose Creek for her birthday and her parents wouldn’t let her keep them things beause they interfered with her plowing. Rufus, I saw Sergeant Wright the morning of the Barnyard Shuffle and he sure was tickled to know that I wasn’t going to register because he said his work has been light and he wanted to keep it that way. I don’t believe that ever before in my peregrinations upon the face of the globe have I ever spent a more enjoyable evening than I did the night of the barnyard jubilee and 1 have traveled quite extensively. In fact, I just bought a box of cartrid ges and am going to a dance at Bug- tussle tonight. Boy, they certainly float some keen ones at Bugtussle.

I allowed that he would ’cause his grades hovered around Zero when I was there. AGGIES WIN BOTH GAMES FROM TEXAS (Continued from Page 6) gard to the play of “Floppy”, who played through eighty minutes of strenuous play on a bad leg. Time and again it was necessary for him to shift feet so as to be able to start down the floor with the ball. Several times it was necessary to take time out to bandage the injured leg but he was always ready to go back and fight—to fight for old A. and M. Such a spirit only shows how far our athletes would go to win for us—to make the name of A. and M. respected in the athletic world as in all others. For the Longhorns there were prob ably no individual stars though Rob ertson and McCullough stood out above their teammates. The Texas forwards were unable to star due to the close guarding of the Aggies.
