THE BATTALION
A. &M. RIFLE TEAM
RETURNS FROM
CAMP PERRY
‘Sy” Guthrie is High Mian From A.
and M. Arizona Man Shoots
Best Record.
The members of the A. and M. rifle
team returned the latter part of the
week, after a three week’s visit to
Camp Perry, Ohio. The team, which
participated in the National rifle
matches held at Camp Perry, were
chosen from the several R. O. T. C.
camps the past summer. R. F. Royall,
S. Y. Guthrie, K. E. Engle, and W.
Criswell, a freshman of this year,
were the A. and M. representatives.
The Eighth Corps team placed fifth
in the meet. However, the men on
the team made a better showing than
the score indicates. Saunders of Ari
zona, a typical western shot, was high
point man of the entire match, drop
ping only thirteen points out of a
possible three hundred.
‘ Sy” Guthrie placed well toward
the top in the Eight Corps Area Team
and also in the individual matches in
which the team participated. In fact,
out of the five individual matches,
“Sy” placed in four as a “tyro”; that
is, one who has never participated
in a National match. The matches
were by no means the only things that
occupied the thoughts of the men.
Camp Perry is situated on the shores
of Lake Erie. And all leisure moments
were spent in sight-seeing and boat
riding.
The members of the team hope to
be able to pass on to those who are
interested in rifle marksmanship here
at A. and M., the new “kinks” of the
game they have acquired in the recent
National matches.
DEPT. OF CHEMISTRY
TO SPONSOR SERIES OF
BENEFICIAL LECTURES
The Department of Chemistry and
Chemical Engineering, according to
Dr.C. C. Hedges, expects to cooperate
with the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas
Association and the Texas Cotton
Seed Crushers’ Association in order
that they might present to the stu
dents a series of lectures on the cot
ton seed and petroleum industries.
These lectures will be given by men
who come directly from the industries
and who will speak with practical
knowledge of the industries they rep
resent.
The following series of lectures
have been recommended to the two as
sociations for the coming year:
On the Cotton Seed Industry.
1. “The manufacture of soap as
it is done in the plant.”
2. “Refining of cotton seed oil in
the plant.”
3. “The hydrogeneration and com-
>n seed oil.”
from the cotton
On the Petroleum Industry.
1. “The manufacture of gas.”
2. ‘The manufacture of casing
head gasoline.”

A. AND M. LIBRARY OFFER
ADVANTAGES TO STUDENTS
Many New Improvements Have Been
Made.
The A. and M. library is an impor
tant feature in the instruction of stu
dents here at College and has been
made ready to serve the students in
numerous ways.
First of all, the students will be aid
ed again this year in selecting books
for outside reading. Each week the
library page will be published in the
Daily Bulletin, as a guide for outside
or parallel reading, according to a
statement made by Mr. Mayo, librar
ian. This page will be composed of a
substantial list, including those books
that have been added to the library
throughout the summer. This guide
should prove beneficial to all students
interested in improving and enlarging
their vocabulary.
The reading room has been opened
and has proven to be as popular as
it was last year. A varied collection
of newspapers and both weekly and
monthly magazines may be found on
the racks in the reading room.
Furthermore, an important addition
has been made to the library in the
form of a room for the graduate stu
dents which is in line with the estab
lishment of the graduate school. Each
student who has enrolled in the grad
uate school has been furnished with
a desk and locker where he may study
and keep his books. This should
prove to be of great assistance to
those students who are dilligently
working on their higher degrees.

Building Constantly
Toward Perfection
[ECAUSE efficient machinery is now and always will
be indispensable to profitable farming, this subject is
of prime importance to every man who would master the
fundamentals of Agriculture.
No machine is perfect, but the tendency must always be
toward greater perfection because no machine can long
survive except as it demonstrates superior efficiency,
economy and dependability.
The series of Case advertisements which will appear in
this magazine during this school year will tell the inter
esting story of the Case Engineering Code—how, through
a system which provides sure, steady, orderly progress
toward perfection, Case machines are kept as near as pos
sible to the top notch of efficiency and economy.
It’s an unusual story; one that will, we hope, prove both
interesting and helpful to you in your future work.
