NO. 8 WEEK’S NEWS EX-STUDENT’S ASSOCIATION TO GIVE PRIZE Who’s coming to the Thanksgiving- Day game from the farthest point? This means only A. & M. men and those coming with the game as the primary purpose. For the visitor who travels the most miles to get here from his home a prize is hung up. Its a copy of this year’s LONG HORN, and believe me, that’s some fine book. It will be alive for the youngsters and it will show the old- timers what has been going on since their day. Let us have your mileage! * * * S. M. U. SPORTSMANSHIP Never was a student body so bit terly taken down as was S. M. U. last Saturday, but not once did a single student of that University fail to act as a perfect sportsman. For the first time in two years S. M. U. suffered defeat; can we wonder at their down- (Continued on Page 4) EPISCOPAL GROUP PLANS TO BUILD CHAPEL HERE Complete Organization for Year Started. Last Sunday night the Episcopal Club held its first business meeting and plans were made for the forth coming year. In the past the club has been hindered in its work by lack of organization but every ef fort is being made to keep that from happening this year. Rev. Daup discussed plans for the building of at least one unit of the church here at College. Work was started on this project by Rev. Byrd several years ago but many difficul ties have arisen and as a result the progress has been slow. The com pleted group will consist of a chapel rectory and parish house or recrea tional hall for students. Several committees were named and the following officers elected: Clay McFarland, Pres., C. A. Mitchell, Vice- Pres., L. E. McKnight, Sec., and W. L. Coleman, Treasurer. ONEBUHONEERS CLUB ORGANIZED Will Stage Exclusive Dance—Admit tance to Shave-Tails Only. The first meeting this year of one of the most important clubs on the campus was held last week for the election of officers and discuss ion of the club’s program. Practically all the present members are very prominent in a military way, having achieved such distinction as to be re warded the privilege of wearing a shiny silver botton on each shoulder. These men have formed an organiza tion whose membership probably will exceed that of any other club on the campus. In place of the usual president, sec retary, etc., the club is lead by a ..“Grand Sultan^” ajnd Buck Morris was elected to this exalted position. Even a mediocre leader in military (Continued on Page 3) DEBATE CANDIDATES SELECTED Picture Show to be Given to Help De fray Expenses of Team. Debate tryouts last Wednesday night were of much interest as some thirty men tried out for places on the debate team. Of these the following were selected to be on the debate squad: J. Bertrand, J. V. Wheat, H. W. Toepperwein, R. N. Talbott, S. C. Leslie, J. D. King, H. G. Stromberger, M. Davis, L. A. I. Irwin, A. V. Chapin, H. L. Tucker, W. S. Morrison, Bos well, and Aimardt. The team will be selected from these possibilities. The subject for debate this year will probably be the foreign invest ment question. Contracts have been signed with Howard Payne college and two Abeline colleges for a two year return debate. There will be a picture show here on the eighteenth of November for the benefit of the debating team and the profits are to be used to send the debating team to the different schools. The picture will be “Rookies,” one of the best pictures ever shown for the price. Tickets will be on sale for twenty-five cents and everyone should come out to help the debating team along and get the benefit of the show at the same time.

C. “Buck” Morris, editor of the Battalion, are leaving Thurs day evening for Norman, Oklahoma, to attend the National College Press Congress, to be held at the University of Oklahoma, November 11 and 12. The convention is to be attended by editors and business managers of col lege newspapers, comic magazines and annuals from the leading colleges and universities of the country. Henry J. Haskell, editor of the Kansas City Star, Richard L. Jones, publisher of several large newspapers, and one of the directors of the Scripps-Howard chain are expeected to address the convention. Outside of these speeches the convention work will be done in round-table discussions between the editors from various sec tions of the country. The boys will be guests of the fra ternities and sororities of the Univer sity of Oklahoma, during their stay, and plenty of entertainment has been promised. If one of the sororities doesn’t adopt them, they expect to be back by Monday of next week. AGGIE STADIUM TO BE DEDICATED THANKSGIVING Many Special Trains Will Bring Vis itors to Game With the advance ticket sales indi cating the attendance at the Texas Aggie-Longhorn football classic to be played on Kyle Field Thanksgiving ; day will be larger than was expected, more temporary stands are being erected so as to make possible the handling of 25,000 people. Additional stands will be erected if it is found necessary, James Sullivan, business manager, said. The annual battle between the Longhorns and Aggies is looked upon as the football classic of the South west Conference and it attracts a tremendous crowd every year. It is believed that the attendance this year will shatter all previous attendance records at Kyle Field. Special trains to College Station will be run- from all sections of the state to accommodate those who wish to see the game, one railroad having already scheduled twelve trains, ac cording to announcements, and there is a possibility of scheduling more should the demand be greater. An added attraction at the Thanks giving contest will be the dedication of the new Aggie stadium since it was at the Aggie-Longhorn tilt in Austin three years ago that the Tex as University stadium was dedicated.
