DAIRY HUSBANDRY TEAM
LEAVES FOR ST. LOUIS
Meeting in the guest room of the
creamery, members of the Kream
and Kow Klub gathered Tuesday
night for the annual “send off” par
ty in honor of the National Dairy
Husbandry earn, which left the fol
lowing night for St. Louis to com
pete in the National Dairy Show with
teams entered from virtually all
major agricultural colleges of the
United States and Canada.
Members of the animal husbandry
teams were the special guests of the
Klub at the farewell gathering, at
which refreshments were served and
expense checks were presented to
L. C. Breazeale, Crockett; Alfred
Crocker, Center; C. W. Thompson,
Winnsboro; and J. W. Richards,
Waco; members of the team repre
senting A. and M. this year.
Enroute to St. Louis the team was
scheduled to stop in Dallas and
Kansas City for some practice judg
ing and plans were being made
for a visit to the University of
Missouri at Columbia. The team will
return to Fort Worth in time to see
the Texas Aggie-Horned Frog grid
contest Saturday.
WHAT IS FOOTBALL?
“Football is to physical culture as
the bull is to agriculture,” says
Robert C. Zuppke. “It is popular be
cause it is the supreme expression
of youth. Maturity may excel in mu
sic, the arts, but not in physical
combat. Youth plays the game to
satisfy the urge, give expression to
the feeling of prowess and com
pletes the dream of castles.”
“Football is like grand opera,
only cleaner. There is no fat bari
tone to steal the fat soprano wife.
Grange was as aesthetic as Pavlowa,
and his runs took more courage.”
“And this, delivered in one sharp
burst of breath, accompanied by
prodigious stridings to and fro, is
something of the Zuppke idea of
football,” so says Tom Morrow in
talking of Zuppke. “The Zuppke men
tal musings are stormy. Interview
ing newspapermen might have been
known to walk miles and miles be
fore the first coma is reached, fall
far behind ere the period has come
and swoon with fatigue before the
paragraph is attained. His mind is
agile and leaps from thought to
thought as swiftly as the comeliest
mountain goat confronted with a
thorough first division mountain.”
FOOTBALL SUPERSTITIONS
A1 Marsters, star halfback of Dart
mouth, says, “I have never worn a
pair of football stockings in a game
since my high school days.” “This
atmosphere of superstition stayed
with me through prep school and
my freshman year at Dartmouth,
and in my sophomore year I develop
ed a new one. I had played fairly
consistent, but not too brilliant, foot
ball during my freshman year and
consequently did not expect to make
the regular position upon the varsity
my sophomore year. I was surprised
when the coach read my name off in
the starting line-up of the first
game and having a slight feeling of
inferiority as we went from the
locker room, I was the last man of
the first team to leave the building.
From then on, throughout the rest
of the season, I was the eleventh
man to go upon the field. Naturally,
when the 1928 season came around,
I was still the last man to go upon
the field. Everything went well for
the first three games and I was
leading the scorers of the country
at the time, when I cracked one of
my bones in my ankle and I believed
that my luck had left me.”
