THE BATTALION .i<SS#5*i highly even though it was his first year in collegiate circles. His posi tion was forward that year but dur ing the season of 1924 he was shifted from forward to guard and there he stuck as a running mate to King Gill and was mentioned by several as a guard on the mythical all-conference team. Truly, with the ending of his third year with three letters, the bril liant “Admiral” may be called one of the Aggies’ greatest basketball play ers. Duckett also completes his thirl year on the squad with three letter stripes on his sleeve. Harry came here from Houston and he was one of the many stars to migrate from that town to College Station. Since ar - riving at Aggieland he has divided his basketball playing time between the positions of center and forward and at each place he proved himself a capable man. Dealy also is a Houston product and when he was playing within high school circles was rated among the best in the state. When “Dime” goes on the court about all there is to see is a pair of wildly swinging arms but nevertheless these same arms gather ed in the ball and prevented many a shot from counting against his team. His smile will be remembered by players throughout the state. Damon is the third of the four grad uating athletes to come from Hous ton. Archie was ever a fighter. What time he was not training for a sport he was coaching some intra mural team for a contest and twice his teams have been champions. His best games were at the beginning of the season though he fought valiantly throughout the entire season. Krueger, one of those never-stop- trying fellows, worked for a place on the team every year and always made the squad though he never lettered. Gus graduates this year.

Again, we thank you. AGGIE PROSPECTS FOR GOOD TRACK TEAM ARE BRIGHT (Continued from Page 6) tion of Jim Reese of Texas. Weddell is determined to defeat Reese this year. Killian, Johnson and Brock are expected to have an excellent year. Gillespie, Royal and Bowen of last year’s squad with Crump and Macy will take care of the long distances. Webb and Hart are looking good in the hurdles; Webb is showing up exceptionally well in the lows. Ward is probably the best pole vaulter and should have everything his way if the conference does not produce a better man than it did last year. Waugh and McKensie are throw ing the shot around forty feet and will improve before the first meet. McKensie and McCluney look good in the discus. Allison and Dieterich should bo among the best javelin throwers in the conference this year and Frank lin also shows promise of exceptional ability. The team as a whole is much better balanced this year than last. Student: “I would like a good golf story.” Librarian: “How about Churchill’s ‘The Inside of the Cup.‘ ”—Ex.

They heard of the big work being done by the analytic and research laboratories of the Purina Mills. And they heard of the practical field work of lowering the feeder's cost of production being done under the Purina Mills direction. They decided that here was an opportu nity to make practical use of the principles of livestock feeding and animal nutrition which they had learned at college. Today they are drawing salary checks from Purina Mills every month. To fill certain positions on its staff, Purina Mills insists upon having men with an agricultural college education. For such men have learned to understand the importance of lowering the farmer’s production costs. PURINA MILLS, 959 Gratiot Street, St. Louis, Mo. Kansas City, Mo. Buffalo, N. Y.
