The annual military inspection by
members of the general staff at Wash
ington, D. C., will be held on Mon
day and Tuesday so as to determine
the relative standing of the military
department of the College with re
gard to the other military institu
tions over the country. Texas A. and
M. has been a distinguished military
institution for the past eleven years
which is a record of which few othejr
institutions can boast. The distin-
guishment is officially recognized in
the War Department orders and pub
lications.
The inspecting party will be com
posed of Major H. T. Bull, cavalry,
and Major C. H. Danielson, infantry,
both of Washington, and Colonel A.
S. Williams, officer in charge of the
R. O. T. C. affairs in the Eighth Corps
Area. They will arrive on the campus
Sunday afternoon at three-fifteen and
will commence the inspection work on
Monday morning. The inspection will
continue thru Tuesday and they will
depart on the early morning train
Wednesday.
Their inspecting schedule will include
class room work, facilities for mili
tary instruction, outdoor drill, field
exercises, review of the corps, and va
rious other phases of the work. Cofi-
ferences will also be held with Presi
dent Bizzell, Major Dougherty and
other members of the military De
partment relative to the betterment
of conditions.
A “Distinguished College” is the
highest honors which can be extended
a military college by the War Depart
ment. Not only has A. and M. been
included in this list for eleven con
secutive years, but it has never been
far from the top it it were not there.

JOHN TARLETON
CHORAL CLUB
MAKES BIG HI1
MUSICIANS FROM THE JUNIOR
BRANCH OF A. AND M. DIS
PLAY FINE TALENT.
SHOW THE AGGIE SPIRIT.
Program of Snappy Style Wins Hearty
f Applause and Approval of
Cadets.
On Tuesday, March 28th, the John
Tarleton Choral Club gave Aggieland
a most pleasing entertainment with
their program of varied musical num
bers. These members of the daugh
ter school won the applause of the
audience in a manner which has not
been equalled during the present year.
Their program was of the type which
appeals to the cadets and was car
ried out in an absolutely flawless
manner.
“On Ye Tarleton,” opening number
The National Football Rules Com
mittee made great progress in the
formulation of new rules and in the
clarification^ ' interpretation of
f'existing "regulations during- its'meet
ing held at the Biltmore hotel in
New York City March 10 and 11, ac
cording to D. X. Bible, head coach
of athletics at the A. and M. College
of Texas who has just returned af
ter attending the meeting. Mr. Bible
was elected to membership on the
committee last fall and was the first
man from the Southwest ever to sit
on a meeting of the national rules
making body.
Of the twelve members of the
committee eleven were present. Dr.
C. W. Savage of Oberlin was the
absent member. Those present were:
E. K. Hall of Dartmouth, chairman;
Walter Camp of Yale, secretary; A.
A. Stagg of Chicago; J. A. Babbitt,
Haverford; F. W. Moore, Harvard;
W. W. Roper, Princeton; Andrew
Smith, California; Dr. H. L. Wil
liams, Minnesota; Paul J. Dashiel,
Annapolis, (Navy); and Carl Wil
liams, University of Pennsylvania.
The new rules governing the
handling of the ball after touchdown,
of the program, not only drew a hearty shift plays, clipping or cutting down
applause but also the admiration of
every Aggie present for the Aggie
land porteges in that they had beaten
their mother institution in securing a
real school song. It is true that A.
and M. has a battle hymn “Good-Bye
to Texas University,” and “Wild Cat”,
but neither of these is a real school
song. They are more for special oc
casions.
Elmer Hintz proved himself to be a
musical director of real worth. Each
member of the entire cast showed the
results of the very carefulest train
ing at all times. They each seemed
to respond to the slightest movement
of his hand as if by magic. The solos
sung by him were art in the real form.

down, motion of man when ball is
put into play, substitution of men,
limitation of the forward pass, equal
ization of advantages of kickoff,
shortening of game and other minor
rules marked advances in the regula
tion of the game, decreased the dan
ger from injuries, increased the im
portance of the game from the stand
point of the spectator, settle satis
factorily certain inequalities of play,
dispensed with unfair advantages
and made the game more scientific
in many other particulars, in the
opinion of Mr. Bible.
While he conceives how some dif
ferences of opinion may arise over
certain changes made when the new
rules are put into practice, he be
lieves that as a whole the work of
