ARKANSAS TO OPEN STADIUM
RODEO-PAGEANT
DAY BEFORE GAME
S. M. U. Mustangs Will be Rode.
The largest crowd to attend any
rodeo and pageant is anticipated on
Friday night November 8th. A great
number of visitors for the game will
have the opportunity of enjoying
a splendid and grand entertainment.
Cadets should take advantage of this
chance to invite friends and special
friends of the feminine personnel to
come early for the game and enjoy
the most exciting moment of a life
time at the Wild Rodeo and Beauti
ful pageant.
The entertainment committee feels
that the crowd will not be lacking
nor will interest and thrills be lack
ing throughout the entire program.
For those who enjoy a REAL HON
EST TO FACT GOOD ENTERTAIN
MENT the management assures their
receiving moneys worth and more.
The riders and bulldoggers have
been selected and wild bronc and
steers are being rounded up from
over the country. “Houston” Smith
the official ring master assures all
that this is to be a“wild” rodeo
and everything will be prearranged
so that the events will go off with
snap and precision. The Artillery and
Cavalry wrestling contest will be
hotly waged in front of a vast
crowd of boosters. Wild milk cows
will be brought from the bottoms
for the contest in wild cow milking
contest, who are urged to be prepared
for swift manipulation.
A final program of events will be
published later for the benefit of the
interested public—but at present
you can rest assured of a high class
entertainment both in rodeo fashion
and pageant style. Everyone near
College seem interested in such an
affair as it makes possible the send
ing of the International Livestock
Judging Team from A. and M. to
enter the national contest at Chi
cago. Cadets are urged to tell their
friends about the rodeo and what
it means to Aggieland.
Of course broncs will be ridden
and ridden hard—but what the cadets
will be interested in most is the final
event of the night; that is the riding
of the S. M. U. Mustang by an A.

FIRST CONFERENCE
GAME PLAYED ON
KYLE FIELD SAT.
New Stadium Nearing Completion.
After wandering around the coun
try in Notre Dame style playing in
tersectional tilts and a conference
game and undaunted by their re
versal at the hands of the T. C. U.
Horned Frogs in Fort Worth last
week, Coach Bell and his Aggies are
looking forward with renewed de
termination to their clash with the
Arkansas Razorbacks on Kyle Field
this Saturday. The game in a way
will be a homecoming for the Ag
gies, as it is not only their first
conference clash on their own lot,
but it will be their first time on
their own field since the opening
game four weeks ago.
It is interesting to note that the
1927 Porker tilt was held just after

CHUCKLES FROM THE
MILITARY.
The “Bull” warmed to his
subject the other night and
slipped the Battalion reporter
the following pungent para
graph.
Manager Lipscomb of the i
Aggieland Pharmacy was the j*
recipient of trade from one of j*
the corps’ few lady-like young ♦*
men. The cadet was fussily in- ••

articles but Mr. Lipscomb bore *'
it good naturedly. ♦ •
“And now,” concluded the ll
young man, “I want some in-

effacious, mind you, very ef- r
facious.”
“Well now,” said the drug- ^
gist, “I’m afraid I can’t sell
you that.” -
“And pray, why not?” very
indignantly.
“Well, you see,” soothed Mr. j
Lipscomb, “there have been a •I*
