^ SAY AGGIE ^
Waco again! Some of you prob
ably think that the Waco trip is a
tradition of the College, but it was
only after much discussion that Wa
co was chosen as the destination of
the corps’ trip of this year. Pos
sibly many of you preferred going to
Dallas, but as Waco received the final
decision let’s all enter into it in the
best possible spirit and give the Wa
co people a good show, for they us
ually see to it that we have a good
time. Anyway, wherever we go, we
want to be noticed, and in Waco we
will receive more attention than in
Dallas.

On every previous trip to Waco
there have been a few who were met
at the train by cars and who were
not in the parade. Honestly, men,
this is almost as bad as not sitting
in the Aggie section at a game. An
outsider might think that you were
ashamed of your own school. The peo
ple who donate the meal tickets and
tickets to the game expect to see one
complete cadet corps in line and not
half in line and half on the side of
the street.

In spite of it being football sea
son and the time for many trips, now
is the most important time of the
year in scholastic work. All of those
profs are forming impressions of you
now and the impression that they
form is liable to last throughout the
term. A little hard work between
games now will surely help run up
the total of those grade points.

Do you realize that personal friend
ships hurt us sometimes ? That is
true for at most of the elections held
here we allow our heart instead of
our head to pick the men to whom we
will give our vote. Let’s put the
right man into office this year in all
of our class elections.

I A Tribute to a Fighting Aggie
T. L. “SILENT” MILLER.
CAPTAIN OF THE TEXAS AGGIES, 1924.
In the game Friday against the Southwestern Pirates, a stroke
of fate ended the brilliant athletic career of Captain Louie Miller.
Twice has fortune robbed him of the honor of leading the Texas Ag
gies on the gridiron—the greatest honor that comes to any student
of A. and M. His dream of leading the fighting Farmers against
the Longhorns next Thanksgiving Day has been shattered, but his
influence will have its effect on the team throughout the season, be
cause it has been as a result of his efforts that the Aggies have en
tered upon a season that gives promise of being the most successful
they have had in years.
However, Miller will continue to act as captain of the team and
will direct the destinies of his teammates from the bench. He will
be able to leave the hospital in time for the S. M. U. game and from
then on, his presence on the field will be an inspiration to the Aggies.
His continuation as captain of the team is a deserving tribute to his
services on the athletic teams of A. and M. in the past, and his un
tiring efforts in perpetuating the indomitable fighting spirit of the
Aggie teams.
The Miller that formed a part of the team can never be replaced in
actuality, but his presence on the bench, eating his heart out with the
other squad men there, will give an impetus to the team there on
the field, an added punch to their drive; and superhuman force on the
defense. Carry On!
CADET OFFICERS
HONORED BY
R. V. COMPANY
Men of Exceptional Scholarship and
Military Ability Taken Into
Organization.
The Ross Volunteers, honor r
tary and social organization of the
college and famous as a crack drill
company, have already elected twenty-
eight new members to the company.
This primary election was held early
in order to bring the organization up
to such a s trength that a good show
ing can be made at the Texas State
Fair.
The following men, all of them
prominent in the student body, have
been signally honored by being elected
to membership in the company: S.
Norwood, O. H. Kimball, A. E. Flow
ers, H. R. Johnson, C. M. Underwood,
J. D. Johnston, A. W. Huff, H. A.
Hunter, D. G. Bell, W. P. Lambert, F.
L. Dahlberg, V. Jones, C. R. Wehr-
man, V. Le May, E. B. Snead, E. J.
Deu Free, J. B. Meitzen, J. M. Stubbs,
B. E. Hester, E. F. Patterson, M. D.
Lewis, W. C. Waddell, W. R. Frede
rick, G. D. Wiliams, W. G. Craig, R.
W. Colglazier, B. H. Hopkins, W. H.
Caldwell.
These new members bring the total
strength of the organization up to
about seventy men who are entirely
capable of representing A. and M. be
fore the public eye.
The company is sparing no effort
to master the drills which have dis
tinguished the Ross Volunteers as a
military organization. Every spare
moment is being utilized in drilling.
Six full squads will probably make
the trip to Dallas, and the men will
leave here in a body on Friday night,
October 17.
Saturday, October 18, is All-Colle
giate Day at the State Fair. Various
colleges from over the state have en
tered the competition for the $1000
prize which is offered for the best “all
round entry.” It is this prize for
which the Ross Volunteers are com
peting. The competition is to be in
the form of a circus presided over by
