Second Game. In the second game of the series the Homed Frogs reversed the process and came from behind in the first half, crawled up in the second half, and then held the fighting Aggies score less for twelve long minutes while the cadet corps howled for a score th^t would win the game. The Frogs showed little effect of the road trip or of the hard game the previous night. Their team work was much improved and although Cantelmi did not loop the long shots that made the first game so sensational, the Pur ple machine covered their shots better and were able to shoot a few more crips. The Aggies tore into their oppo- rtents in the first half and for a tiipe the game threatened to be a runawey affair. The Aggies looped several long shots and before many minutes had passed the Farmers were leading 9 to 1. Here the offense that had been functioning so well lagged a lit tle and the Frogs were allowed to rally. By the end of the half they had crawled up within two points of the Aggies and had held the Farmers scoreless. The half ended 9 to 7 but there was little apparent danger that the Frogs rally would be serious. The second half was a nip and tuck affair. Taylor and George flipped a couple of field goals and it behooved Darby and Dickett to score. Darby’s long shot was sensational. Damon and Cantelmi then got field goals and George dropped in a free throw. Can telmi got another free throw and from then on the game developed into a footrace from one end of the court to the ther. Time and again the Frogs dropped the big ball into the basket but each time it unluckily bounced out. The Aggies rushed the Christians’ goal in a desperate ef fort to count but the gun was fired before they could loop one. T. C. U. had a good team and many of the con ference teams who have been wining the championship on paper all fall will fall before this mighty five. The Lineup. T. C. U. Levy A. and M. • Cantlmi L. F.

EDITOR OF ’25 LONGHORN IS ANNOUNCED (Continued from Page 1) going to put their hearts into their work and publish an annual of which the class will be proud. It is probable that a Longhorn staff better qualified than this one has never been elected. The men are already looking with a large amount of en thusiasm towards their work and hard work is a characteristic of every mem ber of the staff. Men, we have the staff, and all that they need to put out a successful Longhorn is the cooperation of every member of the class. Let’s stay be hind them and we shall have the best Longhorn ever published. FIRST ANNUAL RURAL CHURCH CONFERENCE (Continued from Page 1) state, it would not overlook the coun try church. “The College, as a state suported institution, has formulated a definite program for the improve ment of the rural home and church and seeks to cooperate with the re ligious forces in the formulation of a constructive program for the rural church. “We are not concerned in the de nominational aspects of the church,” he said, “but we recogni/.e it as the foci of community interests and as such an important social agency for disseminating the facts developed by the research of the A. and M. College which have the potentialities for im proving rural conditions in a marvel ous way.’ DRIVE LAUNCHED FOR A NEW GYMNASIUM (Continued from Page 1) has paid very little. Wlithout consid erable help ffom the state the De partment of Athletic Training could not undertake to build a gym. A first class building properly equipped would cost something like $250,000.00, but one could perhaps be built that would meet the immediate demands for considerably less and the Athletic Council stands ready to match dollars with the State, Alumni Association or any other organization or individual to erect a building that would cost not exceeding $100,000.00 to be used for a gym, basketball court, corps dances and such other forms of recre ation for the students as they might see fit. The Athletic Council feels that it could raise their part of the money in some way and pay it out in a period of five or six years from the earnings of the department, but for the Athletic Council to obligate itself for the entire amount is simply out of the question. Mr. LaRoache, College Archtiect, has in mind a build ing that would answer the purpose for a number of years at least and be lieves it could be built for approxi mately $100,000.00 This building should be built during the coming summer and be ready for occupancy by fall and if it is to be built plans must be drawn very soon. The Uni versity of Texas have launched a drive for a stadium that will cost approxi mately $500,000.00 and all indications are they will soon raise that amount. Can the A. and M. College raise $50,- 000.00?” This paper invites suggestions from all those interested in seeing a gym at A. and M. College of sufficient size to seat at least four thousand people for basketball games and so ar ranged as to meet the demands for corrective gym work, with a floor large enough for corps dances and two basketball courts and such other forms of recreation as the students at Aggieland need.
