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-

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

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.

to attend the National College Press

and universities of the country.
Henry J. Haskell, editor of the
Kansas City Star, Richard L. Jones,
publisher of several large newspapers,

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.
LONGHORN NOTICE TO ALL
