BASKETBALL LETTERMEN Several faculty members and the A & M live stock judging team were | the guests of the juniors of the Sad dle and Sirloin club at a barbecue supper last Tuesday night in the Ani mal Husbandry Pavilion, honoring the team prior to its departure to the meets at Kansas City and Chicago. Several interesting facts were brought out in a short talk by Dr. Mark Francis, in which he compared the live stock industry of Texas with that of other states. “The value of live stock in Texas,” said he, “exceeds $8,000,000.” A report of the financial condition of the team was given through which it was announced that owing to the efficient management of the rodeo, whose crowd this year was not as large as in the past, they had raised $120.00 for each member of the team ! to help defray his traveling expenses. 1 It is the custom for the juniors to have charge of the rodeo each year, and turn over all profits to the team for its expenses on the annual trip to the American Royal Stock Show at Kansas City, and the International ' Live Stock Show at Chicago, which j are held the latter part of the month. The members of the team who will lie sent are: N. G. Schuessler, K. W. Tottenham, Russell Couch, H. E. Smith, D. H. Taylor, and L. H. Burns. -A & M Tickets On Sale Nov. 23 BEAU BELL CHARLIE BEARD Because of the large demands for financial aid this year on the part of college students, loans to students by colleges are being put more and more on a strictly business basis this year, reports from colleges and universities throughout the country indicate.
