THE BATTALION

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.
To these men, standard bearers of
yesterday, we, the members of the
student body, wish to express our
appreciation and undying * gratitude
for the work you have done here.
Though we could not be with you on
the court in your many games out-
heart has been there. Your defeats
have been our sorrows and your vic
tories have been our cause for re
joicing. Again, we thank you.

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.

They were among the most ambitious
men in their class.
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.
