TY/TOUNTAINS blocked the trail of
-fVA the pioneers who opened up the
far west. But that impelling urge of the
true pioneer — to explore and know the
country beyond — spurred them to sur
mount these barriers.
In office and laboratory, mountainous
problems in management, in methods and
in scientific research confront the men of
the Bell Telephone System. Yet that same
pioneering instinct—the urge to better the
known and attain the unknown — will
carry them through.
Just as it has brought them through the
difficulties in achieving nation-wide uni
form service, efficiently engineered and
wisely administered. To the modern
frontiersmen who carry on this work to
still greater developments will be given the
thrill of adventure that lies in discovery.

WEEK’S NEWS
Those cadets who are contemplat
ing the purchase of a “car” for their
personal convenience next summer,
especially Juniors going to summer
camp, will be interested in the Nati
onal Automobile Show which opened
last Saturday in New York. The ones
on display there, however, are of
slightly better quality than the wrecks
which will be wending their way to
ward San Antonio, Galveston, etc.,
next June. The 1928 automobile is
described as a fast low^hung, small
wheeled brightly colored machine,
with narrow radiator, sleek lines and
interior fittings of greater luxury
than ever 1 before.
The cars on display differ greatly
from the average cadet’s proud pos-
with hidden side pockets, ingeneously
placed memo pads, chaufons, dia
mond-shaped side lamps, vases, smok
ing equipment, receptacles for smell
ing salts and assorted accessories.
But even the more violent colors
which clothe the sport models cannot
compete with the variety of color in
the external decoration of the row of
lizzies at a summer camp.
The Juniors and Seniors will re
member the captain of the Aggie
football team of 1925 as a great foot
ball player in spite of the handicap
of his face. Mule Wilson led the Ag
gies to the championship in his last
college year and has since been play
ing professional football with the
New York Giants, who were profes
sional champions this last season.
who declares that Mule Wilson is the
greatest football player in the world
today.
Kendrick said that Wilson’s speed
and power is the talk of the football
fraternity of New York. He declared
that Wilson was a great player at A.
and M. but that he has improved so
much since 1925 that he would not be
recognized as the same player; that
it was nothing for him to punt the
ball 70 yards, and that he can run 100
yards in ten seconds in football togs.
He believes that “Mule” starts faster
and runs faster than any back in pro
fessional football, where there are
many All-American stars.
