Studied by Members.
The College herd has returned from
the Tri-State Fair at Amarillo where
it won practically every class that it
was eligible to enter. A total of
fourteen blue ribbons attest to the
high quality of the herd.
The Dairy Department did not take
enough cattle to fill out all the
classes, but the sixteen entered
brought back fourteen firsts, one sec
ond, and one third. The herd won five
Senior and one Junior Championship
and six or all of the Grand Champion
ships. The awards total four hun
dred and eighty dollars.
There were nine entries in Jerseys,
three in Guernseys and two in Hol-
stins. The Jerseys particularly at
tracted attention because of their ex

was well pleased with the showing of
the herd as a whole.

may receive the best of training but
this year he is working harder than
ever before. The Bronze Bull, has al
ready graced the rotunda of our Main
Building on two occasions, and to re j
turn it there as its final resting place
is the determination of every member
of the squad. Mr. Darnell himself
appears unusually optimistic over the
chances of success, and went so fan
as to admit that he had high hopes of
A. and M. being the winning team.
“An unusually strong squad is out,”
and it is to be hoped that the members
can get the necessary training to
bring back the Bronze Bull this year
as the permanent property of the

planned to hold a number of contests
between the men. The first of these
tests was held Saturday, Oct. 4. Four
cattle were judged and reasons were
given on each class.
The team will, be handicapped this

With characteristic Aggie spirit, the
men are working harder to overcome
this obstacle and have the serious
purpose in mind of preparing them
