BATTERY B WINS
EXTRA SUBSCRIP
TION CAMPAIGN
First Sergeant John L. Wilson Estab
lishes Record by Selling Subscrip
tions of 108 Percent.
BY E. P. NOWOTNY.
Battery B again obtained the great
est percentage of extra subscriptions
during the recent contest between the
various organizations. First Sergeant
John L. Wilson established the ex
cellent record of selling subscriptions
amounting to 108 percent. This is
the highest percentage ever obtain
ed and Wilson certainly deserves the
moving picture pass offered by Mr.
Fairman as the prize. G. B. Manning,
First Sergeant of Company B, Signal
Corps, was second with an average
of 93 percent. Taken as a whole
the results of the contest are higher
than in previous years which indicates
a greater interest in the students’
publication has been arroused.
Last year Battery B also won this
distinction when First Sergeant W.
H. Wendler, the present captain of
that organization, sold subscriptions
amounting to 85 percent of his total
roster. As a result B Battery was
given the privilege of publishing a
special issue devoted to their own in
terests, containing short “write-ups”
of their personnel, with articles, jokes
and cartoons contributed by the men
of this unit. The privilege of pub
lishing this special issue will again
go to Battery B, and it is expected
that it will be a great success as the
experience gained last year will be
very beneficial.
This is the first time that any or
ganization has won the distinction of
selling the largest number of extra
subscriptions twice in succession. The
members of the Battalion staff wish
to compliment this Battery on its
splendid cooperation in the extra sub
scription campaign. Furthermore they
promise to assist financially and edi
torially, if necessary, to help make
the “Battery B Bat,” which will ap
pear next spring, a great success.
A. AND M. DANCE TO
BE GIVEN AT DALLAS UNI
VERSITY SATURDAY NIGHT
Word has just been received from
“Speck” Egan, a prominent Dallas
alumnusi, that with the cooperation
of the A. and M. students he will
put on a real A. and M. dance at Ag
gie prices.
Due to the fact that some A. and
M. students were not satisfied as to
prices of the dance held after the Se-
wanee game, “Speck” has inaugurat
ed a profit sharing plan whereby all
profits will be turned back to the
students. All students upon entering
the dance will pay two dollars and at
the same time will sign their names
and addresses. All profits will be di
vided and a check mailed to each stu
dent who signs his bid. Those who
attend the dance, other than students,
will pay the regular admission price
of two dollars but will receive no re
funds. If the proceeds should amount
to more than two dollars for each

minded that the money for their &

pha.
signed bid, then the remainder goes
to the promoters of the dance.
The advertised A. and M. dance at
the Adolphus is not given by A. and
M. men; an A. and M. orchestra will
not play, and A. and M. prices will
not be charged.
“Speck’s” proposition is fair. Go
to an A. and M. dance, given by an A.
and M. alumnus, music by Aggieland
and the A. and M. price of two dollars
charged for admission with a rebate
on profits.
At one time he who danced had to
pay the piper. Now he has to pay
the doorkeeper, the waiter, the cloak
room attendant, and a dancing part
ner besides.

The intramural basketball
season begins on Nov. 4. Mem
bers of last year’s varsity and
freshman squads will coach these
teams. It is a well known fact
that no team is any stronger
than its coaches.
It is also known to many of
the student body that there are
members of the faculty that
have, during their college ca
reers, been stars on the grid
iron, baseball diamond, track,
and the basketball court. Some
of them in their time were the
best in the sections in wwhich
their schools were located. It is
to these men that we are speak
ing.
There is a great opportunity
for you to help in the athletic
program here at Aggieland by
offering your services to the
Department of Physical Educa
tion to coach the various teams
that are being organized among
the students. The department
desires your assistance and it
will give you an opportunity to
pass on to others the skill you
have gained in your favorite
sport by experience and under
the direction of capable coach
ing systems.
If any members of the stu
dent body know of any men that
will meet the requirements that
have just been enumerated, tear
this article out and hand it to
them.
