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.

he must have lived on a farm, might

they are spiritually dead.—J. F. Kirk
