DEDICATION (Continued from Page 1) throughout the huge structure and the famous Aggie Band of 110 pieces will play. The first five sections of the sta dium were put into use last year, these comprising the bulk of the west side of the structure. The initial units were erected by the J. E. John son Construction Company, of Waco, at a cost of $100,000.00. Ground for the remaining sixteen sections, com pleting the huge U-shaped struc ture, was broken on July 8th, of this year and the concrete work fin ished on October 18th. The latter sixteen sections were built by Rollin J. Windrow, Dallas contractor, at a cost of $265,000.00. The completed stadium gives A. and M. College one of the finest athletic plants in the South. It has an actual seating capacity of 32,890, but this can be supplemented by temporary stands accommodating 5,00 at - the open or South end if needed. The credit, almost in its entirety, for the erection of the stadium, is due to the untiring, conscientious, unselfish efforts of Mr. Sullivan, who came here as a stenographer in the Secretary’s office during the administration of President H. H. Harrington in the fall of 1908. He served in this capacity for two years, later was appointed secretary to the president and the board of directors for four years, and after acting as executive secretary of the Feed Control Service in the Experi ment Station for six years, he was elected to manage the business end of the Athletic Department, where he has been making almost unheard of improvements for the last nine years. He has not missed a Thanks giving Day game since his arrival at the College, twenty-one years ago. “Sully,” the name by which Mr. Sullivan better known when he ac cepted the position of business man ager of athletics, found that the College owed the Athletic Council $17,000.00, had no plans for the de velopment of athletics, and practi cally no equipment. Now the depart ment is equipped with the best equip ment available and the complete ath letic plant is worth $525,000.00. When asked to comment on the situation, Mr. Sullivan stated, “Never have I spent a happier time than the years spent at A. and M. College. The completion of the stadium is one of my greatest ambitions realized and has come much faster than I had ever expected. I have always wanted a worthwhile athletic plant and now that I really have one there is little else which gives me more pride. There is no place I had rather live than College Station, among people whom I know to be my friends. The contract with the stu dent body has afforded me great pleasure and through them, I have learned to know many throughout the state which I would have never known otherwise.” The brief speaking program will begin at 1:00 o’clock and the whis tle to .start the game which, will write the dedication record in the Aggies athletic annals, will be blown at 2:30 o’clock sharp. AGGIELAND MECCA (Continued from Page 1) and Texas Aggies will be fought. The day of days is at hand. Al ready several thousand Exes are -in Aggieland for the annual gridiron tilt of national fame. Preparations for this, the gala oc casion of the year, have been in force for some time. Hotel reser vations have been impossible to ob tain both in Bryan and in the Ag gieland Inn, there being such a de mand for rooms by those wishing to stay over after the game for the dances and other festivities that Mitchell and Foster halls have been ordered vacated to accommodate part of the students’ friends and rela tives. According to the most accurate information received, there will be some thirty special trains, originat ing in various sections of the state and terminating at College Sta tion to bring the large majority of the countless throngs to the New Kyle Field concrete stadium for the 2:30 p. m. initial play of the Texas Aggie-Texas Longhorn football game Thursday afternoon. Streets of the college are to be closed to general traffic beginning Thursday morning so as to avid hin drance to the heavy pedestran traf fic which will be encountered throughout the Turkey Day riot. Au tomobiles will be parked on the par ade grounds as far as possible. And then at noon between 11 a. m. and until such time as all visi tors’ palates are satisfied, an elab orate Thanksgiving dinner will be served in the Mess Hall. Students will be treated as guests in the matter of compensation for their dinners. Preceding the Thursday afternoon tilt will be the dedication of the $350,000.00 stadium with Governor Dan Moody as principle spokesman for the occasion. Other distingushed visitors who will participate in the ceremony are President H. Y. Ben edict of the University of Texas, Lutcher Stark, president Texas Uni versity board of regents; F. M. Law of Houston, president of the A. & M. board of directors; and President T. O. Walton of Texas A. and M., the . latter presiding. Temporary accommodation for the visitors and their baggage will be (given at the Y. M. C. A. and at Guion Hall. Succeeding activities of the turf- diffusing sport classic will be the Thanksgiving Hop which, even though lacking the customary dance-room decorations, will be as complete as ever due to the torrid orchestra ob tained for the dance through exten sive efforts of the dance committee members. Because this will be the only South west conference game on Turkey Day, a state wide broadcast of the clash will be arranged for with main stations of San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, and WTAW, College Station. For the special benefit of cadets, the “relatively new” electrically powered Toonerville Trolley will make a special trip to Bryan in its former rapid transit style to accom modate those not wishing to remain on the campus ? ? Welcome to our college city Long horn fans and Aggie faithfuls: You may be fully compensated for your efforts extended in being among those present. AGGIES SET FOR STEER TILT (Continued from Page 4) and blocking in interference running. He is a real asset to the club. Hebe Dorsey, little blonde-headed comet from Cowtown, will see plent yof ac tion in the fracas. His loose-hipped running has been a thorn in the side of every team he has played against this season. A broken hand has hampered him in his last year with the Ags. The Steers will present backfield that has been outstanding all season. With little Nona Rees, brainy quar ter, at the helm of the gigantic machine, they will be hard to stox^. Dexter Shelley, Texas’ claim to foot ball fame, will start at the fullback position. Pap Perkins and Eddie Beular, two fast elusive backs are slated to hold down the half back positions. Big ’un Rose, the outstanding end of the current season, will pair up with Rutledge Vining at the Texas Wing positions. Captain Gordy Brown and Billy Hargrove, will take care of the tackles. Curtis Beatty and Grover Emerson, two powerful guards, will be hard to get out of the center of the line. The Steers’ best defensive threat, Mac Burnett, will be at his old cen ter position. The slim, wiry pivot man is probably the best of the lot in the Conference this season. He always turns in a great game. Watch him tomorrow. Yep, the thirty sixth meeting of the ancient foes, should be one of those things you read about. Aggies to win by a touchdown. F and B Club Holds Interesting Meeting Mayo and Lee are Speakers of the Evening. The Farmers and Bonkers Club held its first regular meeting last Tuesday night in the lecture room of the Agricultural Building with an attendance of about forty ' mem bers. Doctor V. P. Lee, head of the De partment of Agricultural Adminis tration, gave a very interesting talk on the reasons for coming to col lege and what is benefitted by at tending. “It is not possible, said Dr. Lee, “to get a complete college education from our class room work. We-must, and do, get a large part of training from other sources, and such organizations as the Farmers and Bankers Club are means to such an end.” He also brought out the fact that if one tries to be serious all the time and keeps his mind in one channel he will grow stale very quickly. The second speaker of the evening, Professor Thomas Mayo, gave a most interesting talk on the subject of “Inferiority Complexes.” He distin guished between a feeling of infer iority complex along with many other points of vital interest and the talk proved to be quite an instructive one. Prospects for A. H. Team are Bright With one trophy permanently won and another to be competed for No vember 30 at Chicago prospects are bright for the Texas Aggie Animal Husbandry team, now on its annual tour of colleges and expositions in the north. The only setback met by the Aggie team thus far in the season is the illness of George Love, high-point man in the initial contest who was forced to return to his home at Del Rio,, where he may be confined until after the Christmas I holidays^ After winning the trophy at Wich ita, Kansas, the Aggie team went to Kansas City, Mo., where they participated in the American Royal Contest with fifteen other colleges. They won first in sheep and fourth in horse judging. M. D. Lacy, Mar ble Falls, placed fourth in the 75 contestants competing. The team is now in the contests at the University of Illinois and will leave Thanksgiving Day for their final and largest contest, the Inter national Livestock Exposition meet at Chicago. CORRECTION The article in last weeks issue of the Bat on the tearing down of the old armory stated that “the labor for this work will be at the rate of fifty cents an hour, more than the eight hours work would bring at the regular student labor rate.” It should have read “the labor for this work will be at the rate of fifty cents a day more than the eight hours work would bring at the regular student labor rate.” This will make the pay for eight hours $2.50.
