LIVELY SCRAPS ON
SCHEDULE FOR 1923
(Continued from page 3)
pective teams. All A. and M. Clubs
in North Texas plan a get-together
day at the Fair on this date.
On the following Saturday the Ag
gies travel to Baton Rouge and meet
the Louisiana Tigers. This team is
coached by Mike Donohoe, who for
fourteen years turned out consistent
winners at Auburn. This game, as
well as the game in Dallas, will prove
a real test of the Aggies’ strength
and if they weather these two con
tests in good shape the followers of
the Maroons will have hopes of a real
football team at College.
On October 26, the Southern Meth
odist University Team of Dallas will
invade Aggieland for the first time
in the history of the institution. This
game will mark the opening of the
Conference season for the Aggies and
since they have some scores to set
tle with the fast traveling Mustangs,
the contest should and will prove one
of much interest. On November 3 the
annual game with the Baylor Bears
will be played in Waco at the Cotton
Palace grounds. This game has
grown to such proportions that the
Cotton Palace management is ex
periencing difficulty in taking care of
the crowds. This contest now ranks
second of importance in the football
calendar of the Southwest, only the
annual clash of the Aggie-Longhorn
game on Turkey Day overshadows it.
Either the Aggies or the Bears are
certain to be eliminated from the
championship honors in this contest.
After this contest the Aggies take
a ten day rest and travel to Houston
for a game with the Rice Owls on
November 17. This game has always
proved a stumbling block for the Ag
gies and every effort will be put forth
this season to wipe out the old tra
dition of a “let-down” on this game.
Then comes another ten day inter
mission but no rest for everything in
the power of the coaches will be put
forth to round the Maroon team into
perfect form for the greatest athletic
contest in the South, the Aggie-Long
horn football game on Thanksgiving
Day. This game not only exceeds all
others in the number of attendance,
but in interest as well. No other game
in the entire South drew as many peo
ple last season as did the Aggie-
Longhorn game and the same will be
true on Thanksgiving Day this sea
son. Old grads of both institutions
from two score years back to those
graduating this June, will be on hand
to cheer their teams to victory. In
addition to those the flower of Texas
society will be present at this con
test and there is still another element
that goes to swell the mammoth
throng that will journey to College
Station, the little village on the banks
of the Brazos, and that is the sport
loving public who come to see a hard
fought contest played in a sports
manlike manner by real sportsmen.
This element, as well as all others, has
learned by past experience that re
gardless of the “dope” or the record
of either team that they will be as
sured of a contest worth traveling
many miles to witness and they have
not been disappointed for the past
eight years and are not likely to be
this year.
JOHNNIE PIERCE TO ASSIST
BIBLE WITH AGGIE LINE
(Continued from page 3)
help out in football though and of
course will have baseball in the spring.
Last season House learned Bible’s
system and it is expected that he will
be of great help in coaching the grid
iron men this season.
Johnnie will handle Freshman bas
ketball. Anderson, who has had
Fish basketball heretofore, will go to
work with his track men immediately
after the close of the football season.
Anderson is Freshman football coach.
He will have no duties after Thanks
giving except the getting in condition
of his track men.
“I am thrilled over the prospects
of being back at A. and M. in the ca
pacity of assistant coach,” Johnnie
wrote to Chairman Ike Ashbum of
the Athletic Council immediately after
he had signed the dotted line. “Ever
since my graduation I have wanted
to engage in athletic work and this
opportunity to come to A. and M.
under D. X. Bible is the realization of
one of my fondest dreams.”
Johnnie, it will be remembered, sus
tained a broken leg on the kick off at
the Texas game in Austin in 1921. It
always was felt that his loss was res
ponsible for the loss of the game. He
had directed the defense and was an
exceptionally keen man at diagnosing
plays. A forward pass defeated A.
and M. and breaking up passes was
Johnnie’s forte. Pierce played at end,
quarter, and later center.
He also made his letter in basket
ball.
Pierce was from Denton. He work
ed his way through school was captain
of his company in his graduating year
and in spite of being out for basket
ball , and football made exceptionally
good grades.
He will arrive at the College Sep
tember 1.
0. W. WILLIAMS
IS NEW HEAD OF
A. H. DEPARTMENT
Two New Instructors Added and
Changes Made Within Department
to Balance Promotion.
D. W. Williams, for the past four
years a professor in the Department
of Animal Husbandry of the A. and
M. College of Texas, in charge of
swine, has been made head of the de
partment succeeding G. S. Templeton,
who resigned at the close of the
spring term.
With the responsibility of the work
in breeding, feeding and exhibiting of
swine Professor Williams has estab
lished an enviable reputation among
swine producers of the state. His ex
hibit has always placed high in the
lists of winners at the state fairs and
the past year he practically cleaned
the slate of prizes at the Southwest
ern Exposition and Fat Stock Show,
making the most glorious record in
the history of livestock exhibitions
by the A. and M. College. As a
judge of swine and other kinds of
livestock his service has been sought
by the management of fairs through
out this and other states. He has ac
commodated whenever possible and
his work has given him a very famil
iar standing with the producers in
the state.
Professor Wlilfianis was reared in
Ohio and received the greater part of
his schooling in that state. He fin
ished the Cleveland High School and
then took his bachelor of science de
gree from the University of Ohio. He
took advantage of a scholarship to
attend the University of Illinois and
received the master of science degree
from that institution in 1916. He
spent two years on a farm after grad
uation and then joined the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture as extension an
imal husbandman. During most of
his time with the bureau he was sta
tioned in South Carolina. He left the
bureau and came to the A. and M.
College of Texas in 1919.
While employed as professor of an
imal husbandry here, Mr. Williams
has also found time to conduct a
number of experiments with swine
along with his teaching work. In this
work he has cooperated with the Ex
periment Station of the College. He
has also conducted two soft pork ex
periments jointly with the Experiment
Station and the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
Two additional instructors will be
in the Department of Animal Hus
bandry the coming year and there will
also be some changes within the de
partment to balance the promotion of
Professor Williams. Besides his du
ties as administrative head of the de
partment Professor Williams will
have charge of the work in cattle, in
cluding instructing, breeding, feed
ing, and exhibiting. Professor W. L.
Stangel for the past ' few years in
charge of horses, will take up the
work with swine in place of Professor
Williams and D. S. Buchanan, asso
ciate professor, formerly instructor
of federal students in the department,
will take up the work formerly done
by Professor Stangel. Professor Reg-
enbrecht will continue with sheep.
The two new men employed are
A. H. Groth and Howard T. Willson.
Mr. Groth will rank as an instructor
in beef cattle and Mr. Wilson as as
sistant professor, working with dif
ferent kinds of livestock. Mr. Groth
holds the B. S. degree from Ames and
M. S. degree from the Colorado Agri
cultural College. He will come here
from the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege where he has been serving as an
instructor recently.
Mr. W!ilson holds the B. S. degree
from the University of Illinois and
the M. S. degree from the University
of Wisconsin. He will come here from
the latter place where he has been for
the past two years as a teacher.
INTERURBAN RESCUED
FROM THE JUNK PILE
You Old Timers remember when
you had to swing off of the motor
operated dinkey on the Bryan-Col-
lege interurban and put her back on
the track or else help push her up
the hill. Then came the electric
cars. This spring the electric sys
tem curled up and died and jitneys
were resorted to. Bryan and College
citizens came to the rescue, pulled
the system out of the junk heap and
have reorganized it. Todd A. White
a two-year E. E. man of Temple, will
put it back on its feet. The line will
be in operation September 1, giving
greatly improved service. Three
cars will be operated on the line and
fifteen minute service will prevail
during the rush hours.
White, who completed his two-year
course in ’23, is a mature man hav
ing served in street railway work
for some years.
A. B. Morris (Bugs) sensational
short stop on the 1923 Aggie baseball
team and captain of that team, is still
setting the woods on fire with the
Ardmore team of the Western Asso
ciation. Bugs is playing a jam-up
fielding game and is burning the
league up with his hitting.
