Dart, officiating, announces that the Aggieland Eight will play. The members of both teams will be the guests of the oc casion. Write for that old date now. Don’t procrastinate, ’cause we want to syn copate. Tell your best friend to tell his best friend. That’s best! Let’s show Houston that the Aggie spirit don’t stop at the gate to the football field—coming out. Be there! So are you, ain’t I? ❖ * * A Reminder. Don’t forget that “day after the battle” corps dance at Sbisa’s Hall next Saturday night. And please bring a date. The more, the merrier. Give an S. M. U. girl a chance to hear Sol Bartlett and his Aggieland orchestra play in their native habi tat. The dance will start promptly at 8:30; so be on hand then. We don’t want to hear any griping when mid night comes and the music, perforce, must stop. Introduce your girl to an Aggieland dance, and we’ll appreciate it. Don’t leave this dance out of your life. Remember that the sin of om ission is the greatest sin of all. BELL COUNTY CLUB. The Bell County Club reorganized September 30, 1923. The officers elected were' as follows: G. E.
