COL. NELSON
(Continued from Page 1)
is not likely that all the power he has
vested the Seniors with will shape
the destinies of the Corps and stu
dent body in a way that is not fitting
to the traditions of A. & M. College.
Col. Nelson entered Mississippi A.
& M. in 1893 and graduated in 1897. j
He was one of the outstanding foot- :
ball players during his stay in col- i
lege. He was also a baseball and
track star. This one thing alone
shows his love for athletics and ex
plains his presence on Kyle Field'
every minute that he can spare to |
see the old Aggie machine at work. |
After he had received his B. S. de- '
gree from Miss. A. & M. in ’97, Col.
Nelson played baseball one season in
the Southern League, and then he en- j
listed in the army and received his
commission in 1899. He served over- ,
seas as Col. of the 106th Military Po- J
lice of the 31st Division. He was also
assistant chief of staff of the 92nd j
Division. After the war the very;
unpleasant job of commanding the ^
808th Pioneering Infantry, which was
gonne battlefield, was given to him.
In 1925 Col. Nelson was placed in
command of the 9th Infantry at Fort
Sam Houston and has been there un
til he was detailed to A. & M. in Au
gust.
The examples of “fish” Nelson are
ones that can be followed with any
amount of safety and it is practically
certain that the followers will be bet
ter off by having followed the exam
ples of this splendid soldier and man.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL
With the opening of the fall term
much interest is being displayed in
the prospects of the football squad
for this year, for it is from among
these men that the future Aggie
teams will be picked.
Under the tutelage of Freshman
Coach R. G. Higginbotham, assisted
by J. C. McIntosh, Frank Anderson,
and Henry Eitt, the Freshmen will
start to work about Sept. 26, when
it is expected they will be through
with the trials of registration and set
tled in their new surroundings. About
50 candidates will be equipped at first
but it is planned to keep a hundred
men in uniform all through the sea
son.
