For two weeks preceding the A.
and M.-Sewaee football game the sole
thoughts of the Aggies were “On to
Dallas and Victory.” And Friday last
at noon the corps saw the football
team off on its way accompanied by
two hundred students and that night
the A. and M .special which left Col
lege at 11:30 carried at least 800
other cadets.
The special arrived in Dallas at
5:00 a. m., Saturday morning and
greeted the town with the customary
exhibition of boistrous enthusiasm and
lusty voices. The morning, until
10:30 was spent in looking the city
over and acclaiming to Dallas citizens
that A. and M. could not lose and
would not.
At 10:30 a. m. the cadets paraded
the streets from the Jefferson hotel to
the Oriental hotel.
The rest of the day was passed
away rather quietly until 3:00 p. m.
at the Fair Park Stadium—then, all
the keyed up excitement of both Ag
gie and Sewanee supporters burst
forth as the first whistle began a game
which shall long be remembered.
The game was a success in every
way possible. Even though it has
been said that the score of 14-0 did
not really show the relative compar
ative strength of the two teams, we
can say that the Sewanee eleven was
indeed a team worth playing. They
displayed a wonderful fighting com
bination, but the gray matter of D. X.
Bible’s football brain had planned an
attack and defense, which, carried out
by the powerful Aggie eleven, was in
capable of being out-thought, out
fought, nor out-played.
That night an A. and M. dance was
given at the Oriental Hotel at which
the members of both elevens were in
vited as guests.

The tentative plans for a lasting
tribute to the Texas Aggies who gave
their lives in the World War were re
alized last fall when the Classes of
1923, 1924, 1925 and 1926, voted
unanimously to unite and finance the
plan for a monument to our heroes.
The shaft is to be a solid block of
Vermont granite weighing nine tons
with dimensions nine feet by five feet
by two and one-half feet, resting on a
five by five foot concrete base. Across
one corner is to be draped an Ameri-

AGGIE BAND
WINS PRAISE
IN FORT WORTH
Banqueted and Feted by Chamber of
Commerce and Shown Many
Courtesies.
Wearing the insignia of the Jubilee
Boosters, and led by their peerless
leader, George Fairleigh, the Aggie
band once again firmly entrenched
themselves in the hearts of the resi
dents of the North Texas city by ren
dering superbly a superior brand of
music.
From the minute the first strains of
“Wildcat” fell upon the ears of the
residents, which announced the arrival
of “Our Band”, the pride of the ca
dets, until the last note floated into
the midnight air, the city was theirs.
As one of the speakers remarked, “the
town is yours, and you will not be held
for anything except murder and ar
son.”
Nothing was lacking in the way of j

STAGE IS SET FOR
BIG ANNUAL SHOW
BY A. H. JUNIORS
Will be Featured by Many New and
Novel Events and
Stunts.
Hark! Stop! Look! Listen!
Look what’s here. The annual rodeo
put on each year by the Juniors of
the Animal Husbandry Department
is only a few weeks away. The
Rodeo is always one of the biggest
events staged at A. and M. and re
ceives the cooperation of the whole
College and the population of Bry
an.
O. H. Kimball of Alpine is the
manager and ringmaster this year.
He promises us one of the best and
most exciting Rodeos that has ever
been staged in this part of the coun
try. The purpose of the Rodeo is to
provide funds for the Senior A. H.
team to go to the National Show and
uphold the name of Aggieland. They

bandry entered 14 steers and 14 hor
ses for the ribbons at the State Fair
of Dallas. Along with the College
livestock show went the side show at
tractions made up of the famous Tex
as Aggie mare mule and her offspring,
a horse foal by Pat Murphy.
The showing of horses is composed
of two breeds, eight Percherons and
six Morgans. The outstanding indi
viduals in the draft horse exhibit are
Linees and Durham’s Pavia. Linees,
the famed four-year-old Percheron
mare was grand champion at Fort
Worth last spring and stood third in
her class at the International Live
stock Exposition last year. There is
a possibility, however, that Dunham’s
Pavia, the two-pear-old Percheron
filly, will win over Linees. This filly
is unusually large for her abe, weigh
ing now more than the four-year-old
and showing considerable bloom and
finish for her age. One of the best
stallion foals ever exhibited at any
fair will be shown this fall. He is
the foal of Linees and an imported
stallion.
The Morgan exhibit is somewhat
smaller than in former years but is
composed of superior individuals of
the breed. Red Oak the undefeated
stallion and the Black Rose the unde
feated mare are unquestionably the
outstanding animals of this exhibit.
Texburn, the two-year-old stallion
of Bobby Bums, in type and quality
easily excells his sire. This young
stallion will receive many favorable
comments from’ Fair visitors. Then
Zella, filly foal and half sister of Tex-
bum by Red Oak, is without question
one of the most perfect specimens of
the breed.
Aberdeen-Angus, Shorthorn and
Hereford breeds, constitute the steer
