THE BATTALION
9
The past three months may have
been vacation time for many of the
students and profs, but it was just
three more months to Mr. Sullivan,
Business Manager of A.thletics, and
what a three months. Sully was never
in one place more than one minute.
He had to show the carpenters,
house movers, ditch diggers, con
crete men and everyone how to make
greater speed. Sully was also a road
builder the past summer. The old
road ran under the stadium and had
to be moved further east. In a way
it was a vacation for him also, since
he is completing a work that has
been a dream for many years. By
Thanksgiving many of the visions
of this man will become realities at
Kyle Field. He will have enough
seats to accomodate everyone for
the Mustang game and about 38,000
seats for the Texas affray.

the long training grind. “Dick” Win

last year, are among those who have
donned the spiked shoe and have
felt the dust of the college byways
beneath their feet. All of the above
except Thompson and Perkins are
lettermen of last year. Thompson
lettered in cross-country in 1927,
while Perkins was kept from the
conference chase last fall by an at
tack of the flu.
In 1927 the Aggies copped the con
ference meet with ease, runnig away
with the race at Dallas. Last Fall
Rice and A. and M. ended in a tie
for the title, and the Aggies won
the toss-up.
Several other squadmen of last
year and a goodly number of pros
pects from the recent freshmen class
will arrive within a few days to
make their bids for positions on the
team.
Seven men make up a cross-coun
try squad, while five men actually
count. The man finishing first is giv
en one point, the second man two
points, the third man three points,
and so on until five men from every
team have finished. The team with
the lowest total score for the five is
adjudged the winner. However, the
sixth and seventh men of • each team
may aid in the scoring by finishing
before some of the five men of the
other teams.
Two dual meets and the confer
ence meet have been scheduled for
this year. The dual affairs will be
with Texas University and Rice In
stitute.
The starting Aggie backfield will
average about 168 pounds.

striving their hardest to rate a

is working day and night to

The

proximately 178 pounds.
