1 THE BATTALION DEDICATION OF NEW STADIUM TO BE IMPRESSIVE (Continued from Page 1) crowd of people it has been called up on to entertain. The A. and M.-Texas U. football game—the football classic of the Southwest—has always drawn thousands of people. All previous records for attendance at the game will be broken when the crowd of about 35,000 people assembles for the^ game. An unusual interest in the game this year is evident from the fact that over 31,000 tickets have al ready been sold, and the remaining 3500 are almost sure to be sold before the game begins. The formal dedi cation of the new stadium at the Uni versity of Texas has aroused unusual interest all over the state in the game, as well as an interest in the other events which will compose the pro gram that is being planned by the University, cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce. Caring for the thousands of visitors and enter taining them will be well done, for Austin is making every effort to as sure its visitors a good time and an hospitable reception. The program for Thanksgiving Day will be inaugurated with the arrival of the A. and M. Cadet Corps at eleven o’clock. The cadets will at once parade up Congress Avenue and will be reviewed from the balcony of the Stephen F. Austin hotel by Governor Pat M. Neff, Governor- elect Miriam A. Ferguson, President W. M. W. Splawn of Texas University, President W. B. Bizzell of A. and M. College, and other state dignitaries and officials. The formal dedication of the new stadium will begin at 1:45 p. m. when the procession moves forward to the stand on the field. The program is in keeping with both the spirit of the events and the spirit of Thanksgiving. Special entrances have been desig nated for the different spectators to the game. Special arrangements have also been made for parking cars.

But that (for the day was very, very short. finds that the air is even more is motoring over Brazos county in perfectly wonder- Sunday afternoon Sunday) was no Rumor has it that “Monk” Under wood is quite interested in Public Speaking as it is taught in Hearne High School. Or can it be the fair young instructor who interests ‘Monk’ so much ? And in passing it might be men tioned that W. R. Smith had one dace with the same girl some days ago. Somehow all was not well—at least the young lady returned to see Un derwood the past week-end. We are wildly guessing that this consolation visit was prompted by either the com parison or the incomparability of these two young men. We hate to stay after Guion so hot but the boy did nearly leave the cam pus in No. 2 uniform the past week end. But how can we expect him to remember that he was to wear No. 1 v/hen his destination was, of course, Navasota. tributed.
