tors; Portland Cement Plant, where
the students were guests for lunch.
In the afternoon the Deep Water Pow
er Plant; Carnegie Steel Warehouse;
and the Galena Oil Refinery were vis
ited.
Tuesday the party split into three
groups in order that each might visit
those industries best associated with
their course. Industries inspected on
this day by the Electricals were:
Southwest General Electric, Gable
Street Power Plant, Western Union
Offices, Bell Telephone, Central Fire
Alarm System and the Otis Elevator
Company. The Electricals and Civil
both had lunch in the Rice Hotel as
guests of the Houston Engineers Club.
The Mechanicals inspected The Struc
tural Steel Co., Houston Car Wheel
and Manufacturing Company, Hughes
Tool Works, where they had lunch,
and the Ford Assembly Plant, while
the Civils found out what was going
on at the Structural Steel Company,
various paving companies in Houston,
the Water Works and the Sewerage
Plant.
Wednesday the electricals inspected
the Houston Car Barns, watched the
process of assembling a Ford in twen
ty minutes, visited the Hughes Tool
Works, and in the afternoon a trip
was made to the electrically equipped
Blue Ridge Oil Field. The Mechanicals
on Wednesday inspected the S. P.
shops, the Mangus Brass Company,
the Houston Pumping Plant and the
power unit in the basement of the
Rice Hotel. The Civil engineers spent
the day in Beaumont where they in
spected more paving plants and pave
ments. For lunch they were the guests
of the Rotary Club and in the evening
Mr. Decker, Superintendent of the
Beaumont Creosote Plant was their
host for a supper.
Thursday morning A. and M. stu
dents began to get scarce in Houston.
The M. E.’s visited in Sugarland on
the last day of the trip where they
took in the process of manufacturing
and x’efining sugar and others of the
Sugarland industries whose guests
they were for a luncheon. Orange was
the terminus of the trip for the Civ
ils. Here they were shown the con
struction of a bridge across the Sab
ine river, a paper mill, The Texas
Creosote Company, who were their
hosts for lunch, and they also saw
an old fashioned type of sawmill. The
E. E.’s had a special interurban to
Texas City which stopped on the way
and allowed them to visit the Web
ster Power plant. At Texas City the
process of refining sugar was watch
ed. From here they went to Galves
ton via a U. S. Engineers boat and
at the latter place inspection was
made of the Dry Docks and the equip
ment of ocean going steamers. For
luncheon they were the guests of the
Galveston A. and M. Club in connec
tion with the Dry Docks. A visit to
the Seawall and the Interurban trip
back to Houston concluded their trip.
All report a very enjoyable trip and
are deeply grateful for the many hos
pitalities enjoyed.

tobacco.
Soph—Oh! thats one of those chew-

TRACK RECORDS DUE FOR UP
SETS.

rell of Texas University on last week
end bettered Buck’s time running the
furlong in 21.3 seconds. With two
such excellent dash men pushing each
other the day of the conference meet,
the record will undoubtedly take a
tumble. ,
Parker in 440.
In Parker, present conference cham
pion in the quarter-mile event of Tex
as A. and M. College, and Greer of
Rice Institute, we find two quarter-
milers who weekly get within striking
distances of Parker’s record of 50.2
seconds for that distance. Greer has
a 50.4 record to his credit and Parker
has the fast time of 50.8 and 50.6 on
succeeding week-ends. However, in
each of his races Parker was pushed
to beat Daniels of Texas University
and Van Winkle of S. M. U., two very
promising quarter-milers who can be
counted on to give a good account of
themselves before many weeks have
passed.
It is also safe to assume that Stuart
Wright’s 220-yard low hurdle mark of
24.4 seconds will be lowered several
notches. Kennedy of Texas A. and M.
College has already shown that he is
capable of so doing by his fast time
of 24.3 seconds in the Texas-Texas A.
and M. College dual meet on April 2.
Stallter of Texas University, Stovall
of Baylor, and Brown of S. M. U., are
other good hurdlers from whom much
is expected.
AGGIES AND STEERS IN
FIGHT FOR HONORS
(Continued from Page 6)
Rothgeb has H. A. Hillin, the veteran
who held the Longhorns helpless in
Austin last year; Siki Sikes, who al
lowed but one run in the first three
games he worked this season; J. D.
Wyman, who defeated T. C. U. at Ft.
Worth last week, A. C. Bryant and
Ducky Holmes. Hillin, star pitcher, is
expected to work in the opening
game.
The infields of the two teams also
are on a parity. The Aggies have a
first class defense in Sikes or S. A.
Clark at first, Joel Hunt or J. F.
Blount at second, Captain Hollis
Tucker or L. M. Williamson at short,
and Punk Baker at third. All are
clean fielders.
Against this array of talent Disch
has Dixie Walker at first, Meredith
Hopkins at second, Bob Harris at
short, and Captain Ed Olle at third.
In hitting strength the Longhorns may
have an advantage.
In the outfield the University of
Texas has a group of fence busters
in Dutch Baumgarten, Cy Williams,
and Hooten. Baumgarten and Williams
are real sluggers and Baumgarten
combines slugging propensities with
speed and a good arm.
The Aggie flychasers are E. O.
Schow, G. A. Kalleen, L. M. William
son, and Hiram Broiles. Kalleen is a
good straight-away hitter, but has not
been played regularly. Broiles is a
ciouter of ability and Schow is a fair
hitter while Williamson is a good
all-around player.
