“T” ASSOCIATION OUTLINES PLANS FOR ACTIVE WORK (Continued from Page 1) Coach D. X. Bible for outside help in order that the Aggie teams might successfully meet the athletic compe tition that has grown so strong in a comparatively short length of time. In a talk made to the former wear ers of the Maroon and White by Coacn Bible, a strong appeal was made for every man to align himself with the athletic program that is being foster ed at A. & M., including the intramu ral and intercollegiate branches. He emphasized the fact that winning was not the whole purpose, but that it was only a means to an end. In his talk, the Aggie mentor did not lessen the importance of winning athletic contests and stated that the athletic department was doing everything per mitted by the ethics of the conference in order that the Farmer teams might be successful on the athletic field. He stated further that he would recommend that the “T” association adhere strictly to the rules of the con ference that prohibits officials of an institution soliciting the services of athletics. “If other institutions have not dis armed themselves of the practice in this regard, then it is our duty to exert our influence toward having them comply with the rules and it is most unreasonable for us to rearm ourselves for a fight in competing for eligible athletics. If we do, it will mean that ultimately, intercollegiate athletics will be abolished and only intramural contests will be held by colleges. “I do not believe it is necessary foe us to violate the rules to win against the. competition. The institution has the merit to attract men of ability and if you will only use your influence, in having these men come to A. & M. and see the facilities that it offers for collegiate, academic and athletics, they will join the college voluntarily.” „ At this meeting, “Runt” Hanson of San Antonio was elected president; “Rip” Collins of Austin, vice-pres.; and “Johnnie Garrity, secretary and treasurer. The assembly adopted resolutions expressing their confidence in and an appreciation for the services of Coacn Bible and Assistant Coach Rothgeb. Among the many resolutions and sug gestions, they recommended that some of the concessions on the campus be set aside for athletes in order that they might have a way of financing their way through school. The meeting was an enthusiastic one and every one present pledged himself to exert renewed energy in the proper development- and utiliza tion of all athletic material at the College; urged a closer and more in timate contact with the Athletic De partment and the old letter men of the institution; and that greater atten tion be paid to reducing the casualty list in the ranks of the athletes from a standpoint of scholastic eligibility. The climax of the day was reached at the basketball game with the Longhorns; the Aggie victory put ting a finishing touch to a perfect day—the first annual homecoming of the former Aggie “T” men. The Battalion announces the com ing out party of one of the season’s most popular debutantes, Mister H. V. Goss, otherwise known on the campus as “Smoky”. Mr. Goss, ac cording to all reports will be the guest of honor at Friday evening’s entertainment. THE BATTALION A text book you won’t Have to pay Sor Alton Brick Company Alton, 111.

VITRIFIED PAVEMENTS The JL m* of Qood Paving J^SPHALT for Filler be- JTx* cause it makes the traffic- bearing surface a water-proof, flexible armor not subject to the cracks which follow rigid slab construction, and because repair costs are insignificant where each brick is an easily removable unit. IjflfcRICK for Surface because M9 it furnishes the best sur face for traffic; hard, but not brittle — tough, but not rough — dense, and non-absorbent — smooth, but not “slick”; because its fire-hardened toughness resists wear and tear so sturdily that upkeep expense is squeezed to a min imum and because any margin of higher first-cost is speedily offset by low maintenance, long life and uninterrupted service. CONCRETE, CRUSHED ROCK, CRUSHED SLAG OR GRAVEL for Base because some one of these bases meets any conceivable sub-soil condition, and with a bedding course of sand or screenings makes the best sub-structure yet developed for modern street or highway traffic.
