NEW GRANDSTAND
BEING ERECTED
ON KYLE FIELD
Long Need For Larger Baseball
Bleachers Alleviated by New
Structure.
A new grandstand that will be com
pleted before the opening of the cur
rent baseball season, is now under con
struction on Kyle Field. The old
stand has been tron down and some
of the material is being used in build
ing the new one. The new structure
is to be located in such a way as to
give a clear view of the baseball dia
mond and track, and thus it will serve
to seat the crowds which attend either
of these athletic events. The seating
capacity of the grandstand now being
built is to be at least 3500. This new
addition to the athletic field is being
built out of lumber, and will not be
permanent but will serve the need for
several years in the future.
Austin Brothers of Dallas have been
awarded the contract by the Athletic
Department to erect steel bleachers
on the west side of the football grid
iron. The bleachers will extend from
the twenty-yard line on one end to the
twenty-yard marker on the other, and
will be twenty rows in height with
two rows of box seats down along the
front. The cost will be approximate
ly $12,000, and the seating capacity
will be 2500. The bleachers are to be
completed before September 1923, and
these together with the bleachers on
the east side of the field will give a
total seating capacity of 8,500; this
will be sufficient to accommodate all
for the various games except the Ag
gie-Longhorn clash on Thanksgiving,
at which time temporary wooden seats
will be erected at each end of the
field.
During the past four years great
improvements have been made on
Kyle Field, and it is to the credit of
the present Athletic Department of
ficials that most of this work has
been done.

PROMINENT MEN
VISIT COLLEGE
Leading Dairymen of the State of
Texas Come to A. and M.
College.
Five of the foremost dairy farmers
and dairymen of the state were on the
campus the past week on a visit to
the college to see the agricultural
school especially the dairy depart
ment, with the view of ascertaining
the exact status of the dairy depart
ment in regard to the future develop
ment and the permanent needs in the
form of appropriations and such.
Those who came were: Mr. Met
zger of Dallas, J. T. Orr of Dallas,
A. E. Flowers of Dallas, Mr. Laird of
Fort Worth, and Ed C. Lasater of Fal-
furrias. The Kream and Kow Klub
held a meeting which was attended by
the above men and Mr. Laird and Mr.
Flowers each gave a talk relative to
dairying.
Mr. Laird emphasized the necessity
of having a vision or aim in life and
the courage and conviction to keep
striving toward the set goal. He fur
ther stated that no college man should
be afraid to begin at the bottom in
his line of work and work up and that
at graduation the realization should
come that all knowledge was not re
vealed to the college man and that it
probably never would be, but to strive
in securing and using as much know
ledge as possible in life.
This visit shows the interest which
the men in the industries of the state
are taking in the work of the college
and when everybody in Texas begins
to realize that A. and M. is their
school, for them to use as much as
they please, A. and M. will become
what it should be.
FARM BUREAU FEDERATION
ASKED TO HOLD NEXT MEET
ING AT COLLEGE
Dean E. J. Kyle of the Texas Ag
ricultural and Mechanical College ex
tended an invitation to the Federal
Farm Bureau to hold its next annual
meeting at College Station. The
Federation moved to recommend to
the Board of Directors that the next
convention be held at the college.

DRAMATIC CLUB PREPARING
FIRST PLAY OF YEAR
The Dramatic Club of A. and M.
v/iil offer its first play of the year
to the public on the night of March
3rd. at Guion Ball. The name of the
play is “Charley’s Aunt” and some
idea of its popularity may be had
from the fact that it is being present
ed in sixty-three of the leading col
leges of the country this year.
The play, dealing with the many
mixups of -a college man in love, is a
mirth-producing affair from begin
ning to end. The cast has been named
from members of the Dramatic Club
and is practicing daily under the di
rection of Prof. Harrington. It will
be the first time in the history of the
College that an all-student cast will
be used. Even the stage settings will
be taken from a model made by a
student.
The funds derived from the plays
this year will be put to a different
use than those heretofore. They will
go to form what will be known as the
William B. Bizzell Loan Fund. This
Fund will be maintained to loan
money to Senior students in need of
financial aid to complete their col
lege education.
No expense of time or work will be
spared in making this first play or
the year a grand success.

gratulated for the general success of
the Inter-Battailion League and this
plan of selecting the All-Battalion
team.

elaborate banquets ever placed be
fore any group. It was due to the un
tiring efforts and arrangements of
Mr. W. A. Duncan that made the
“feed” so pleasing. The programs
were very thoughtfully and neatly
prepared by Coach H. H. House and
they are a treasure within themselv
es.
