Carnegie Foundation says of 102 of
the 120 institutions investigated. The
report defines subsidy as “any as
sistance, favor, gift, award, scholar
ship, or concession, direct or indi
rect, which advantages an athlete
because of his athletic ability or rep
utation and which sets him apart
from his fellows in the undergrad
uate body.” It further states that
“college athletes are subsidized
through four main instrumentalities:
jobs, loans, scholarships, and mis
cellaneous assistance.” Harvard was
kept off the clean list because it
gave a few concessions only to ath
letes. Here there are several con
cessions that are reserved for ath
letes only and usually they are the
best concessions that are offered.
However we believe that our athletes
should be given a few advantages
such as these. They work out every
day and do not have the time to
work at other' jobs. They are able
to work their concessions at night
or divide the concession between
men that take part in different
sports and work it in the season they
are not in competition.
Even if a school does not give
board and room to its players, do
you - think that a man would endure
the pounding, the punishment, the
grind of training, for this mere pit
tance unless he loved the rough
and tumble game ? One of the great
est factors toward the recruiting
and subsidizing athletes is the al
umni and this is one branch that
Can never be controlled because their
work can be carried on under cover.
Yes,^ we too would like to read the
report of an investigation of athletic
conditions of Texas colleges. An
article will appear in the next issue
of the Battalion concerning how
S. V/. C. schools fared with the other
institutions that were investigated.

by a score of 21-38. Texas defeated
the Owls who are supposed to have
a strong team. Coach Anderson’s
crack overland team will meet them
on the Rice course Friday.

If there is another better guard
in the conference than Chuck Richter
he should be placed on the All-
American team. Chuck has been play
ing his position this year much bet
ter than he did last year when he
received mention for the mythical
honor, and if any man deserves that
honor, this year this fighting Aggie
linesman should get first call. Mills
sparkled for the Aggie backfield a
few times, but the wet field hinder
ed him as it did the other Aggie
ball toters. Conover continued to
get off his good kicks and Zarafon-
etis would have run his average up
had it not been, for two hard-luck
boots.

touchdowns by the Rice gridsters.
Saturday’s game at Houston will
be the fourteenth meeting of the
Aggies and Owls on the gridiron
since 1914. The Aggies have won 9
of the 13 preceding contests while
the Owls took three and held A.
and M. to a 7-7 tie in the other.
Only twice in the entire list of 13
games has the margin of victory
been wider than three touchdowus
and in a majority of the games the
difference in the scores of the vic
tors and the vanquished was even
less.

had not the two class idea been in
stituted. The League champions will
be announced in the next issue of the
Battalion and the time for the
playing of these contests will also
be announced.
Speedball is progressing very well,
though not enough Freshmen are
playing this sport. Last year Com-i
pany A lost its first game in the
finals since Speedball was intro
duced at this school, and as yet
have not won a game this season.
The infantry seems to be the
least interested in intramurals this
year although there are a few man
agers that have been getting their
men to the contests. One of the
surprising things noted was that j
