BRANNEN Brannen is the best bet South western has in the baekfield, having lettered three years at the half-back position. However on his last trip to Aggieland he will have to play the game on the sidelines as he received a broken collarbone in a recent scrimmage. The Pirates are very un fortunate in losing this valuable man and his services will be sorely miss ed; he is one worry the cadets will not be forced to bother about. CAPTAIN ANDREWS As yet Captain Andrews has not returned to school, but is expected the first of the week. This is his third and last year with the Pir ates, having lettered two years at center. He is considered the best linesman in the T. I. A. A. Confer ence. SENIORS MAY MAKE THE TULANE TRIP Ban Placed on Underclassmen. Notice all ye globe trotters that only Seniors and a few of them shall have the opportunity of seeing the Tulane Greenies and the Aggies clash October 5 in New Orleans. Dr. Walton and Col. Nelson have decided that the trip was too expensive for most of the cadets and the time away from school would put them so far back in their studies that it is inadvisable for anyone to make the trip. Nevertheless seniors will be allowed to go, provided they each hand in passes and satisfy Col. Nelson that they are capable of making up their scholastic duties and are sufficiently flush to warrant the trip.

No institution in present-day civiliza tion plays so vitally impor tant a part as do our trans portation agencies — and our railroads still are, and must continue to be, by far the most important trans portation factor. That is the reason rail road men and women, generally, are such wonderfully fine people—because they have the knowledge that they are engaged in providing a service that is both necessary and very much worth while. In no other occupation is there greater opportunity for genuine service. Therefore, it must of necessity follow, that the most successful and progressive railroads are manned by em ployes who are most loyal, aggressive and progressive. It also follows that those railroads whose employes possess the finest esprit de corps, the highest morale, the greatest loyalty and aggressiveness, automatically become the most progressive and successful. Missouri Pacific Lines and Missouri Pacific employes both are fortunate. The entire system is manned by one of the finest organizations in the history of the world— and the Missouri Pacific army of 65,000 employes is fol lowing the standard of a successful and progressive Amer- ‘can institution. Result—the public benefits almost beyond measure. Every individual in the organization is fully aware of the importance of team work and there are few armies—even military organizations—that can exhibit the singleness of purpose; the effectiveness of concerted attack; the unani mous joy in achievement that motivates the Missouri Pacific Lines army. Shippers and travelers who have discovered these things have benefited and profited. Some have discovered them accidentally. Others have purposely sought to test out the Missouri Pacific Army. Without exception the army has been found ready and willing to attack the largest or the smallest problem of the shipper and the traveler in order that the Missouri Pacific Lines might be of greatest pos sible service and so live up to the motto that is emblazoned on its banners and written indelibly in the hearts of all— A Service Institution. The Missouri Pacific Lines Army is proud of its railroad and the railroad is proud of its army. Both seek greater opportunities to be of service. I solicit your co-operation and assistance. President
