LOAN—

demic standing is a factor that is
seriously taken into consideration.
Whenever possible, the Associa
tion make it a policy to loan the
students only the difference in the
amount loaned by the college to
ward the required sum of money
for room and maintenance.
Half Million Loaned
In the past seven years The For
mer Students’ Association has
loaned a half million dollars to
students who needed to make not
es, Mr. McQuillen says. The loan
fund was started in 1924 with only
$2,000 and has rapidly grown to
its present size. Loans are made
with interest at six per cent and
all interest received from notes is
turned back into the fund. The lar
gest single contribution was $25,-
000 given by Sears, Roebuck and
Company in 1925. The money was
contributed with the understanding
that all interest from the princi
pal be paid the donors until an
amount equal to the original sum

Monday—Six Letter Men To Return
Display Case For
Athletic Trophies
Being Considered
At a meeting of the Senior class
last week, the suggestion was made
to the class that it used part of
its present funds to build a trophy
case for the college. As planned,
the cost would only include the ex
penditure of materials and labor.
Location of the case was not
definitely decided, due to several
matters which will affect its loca
tion. The case is neaded badly for
the college to make a proper show
ing of awards and trophies that
have been brought here by ath
letes in past contests, and games.
has been paid. Mr. McQuillen stat
es that the obligation will probably
be fulfilled ten years hence, his es
timation being based on the pay
ments made since the agreement
was settled upon. After interest
equaling the original amount has
been paid to Sears, Roebuck and
Company, the principal belongs to
the loan fund of the Former Stu
dents’ Association.
Annual dues of five dolars, paid
by some 3,500 active members of
the Association, augment the loan
fund, pay for the publication of the
Texas Aggie, and the expense of
maintaining the office of the Asso
ciation in the Civil Engineering
Building.
STUDENT-
(Continued from page 1)
hospital bed the story of the in
jury. He was looking in his trunk
for some clothing, he said, when
he picked up the pistol lying in the
trunk. He thought the pistol was
not loaded, and while holding it
in his hand moved slightly the fir
ing mechanism. The gun unexpect
edly discharged in his face, the bul
let entering his forehead. He re
gained consciousness slightly once
prior to being removed to the hos
pital but was too weak to summon
aid. X-ray examination at the hos
pital disclosed the bullet had lodg
ed at the base of the brain.
Prior to Commons’ return to con
sciousness and his explanation of
how the accident took place, care
ful inquiry into the affair was
made by the college authorities as
well as local civil authorities,
invited by the former to partici
pate in the investigation as a mat
ter of form.
Member Of Infantry
Commons is a member of Com
pany A, Infantry. He belongs to
the Rio Grande Valley Club and the
local chapter of the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers. He
gained considei’able fame in stu
dent circles during the spring of
1931 when he climbed the old flag
pole to remove the student flag
that fluttered for several days
from its top.
The pistol by which he was in
jured was made by Commons him
self. It was fashioned from a boy
hood .22 calibre target rifle. The
rifle was cut short and hand stock
affixed.
BOWLING—
(Continued from page 1)
the campus at present and as yet
plans for the construction of any
have not been made. It is possible,
however, that an alley might be
built in the Y M C A building in
a year or so if it is decided to
abandon the Y M C A swimming
pool when the college swimming
pool at Kyle field is completed. If
this poole is abandoned, according
to Y M C A secretary M. L. Cash-
ion, a bowling alley might be the
logical thing to install. Bowling,
however, probably would not be
recognized by the A and M athletic
department unlgss it was listed as
a Southwest Conference sport. It
might, however, be listed among
the intramural sports if equipment
for play were available on the cam
pus.
Students leaving school at mid
term may have their Battalions
sent to them if they will turn in
their cards and addresses to the
office. Make this arrangement as
soon as possible and prevent the
making of any errors. Do not plan
on having someone else do this for
you at a later date.
Shaw Nursing Sprained Wrist
Carpenter, Garvey and Gol-
asinski return.
The pinnacle of the Southwest
conference set as their goal, Coach
“Little Hig” Higginbotham’s cham
pion Aggie diamond crew will be
gin official scheduled practice on
Kyle field, Monday afternoon.
With the exception of two in
fielders, a pitcher, and an out
fielder the Aggie line-up is likely
to appear much the same as it did
at the close of last season. Six of
the nine positions will be filled by
returning lettermen of last season.
Pampell and Henderson Gone
The two infield members of the
champion Aggie nine last season,
who will not be on hand this sea
son, are Vernon “Pamp” Pampell
and T. A. Henderson, veteran third
baseman and shortstop, respective
ly. Pampell completed his period of
eligibility last season and Hender
son failed to return to school in
the fall.
Ab “Axel” Hawes, curve ball ar
tist who held the Texas Longhorns
helpless in the final game of the
race last year, was graduated in
June; along with “Beau” Bell,
slugging captain and left fielder
for the Aggies.
Besides the loss of the afore
mentioned lettermen, two promis
ing sophomores, C. L. Cobb, third
sacker from Bryan; and J. Curry,
first baseman from Brenham; also
failed to reenter school in the fall.
Shaw’s Wrist Bad
Already handicapped by the loss
of dependable performers at their
respective positions, the hopes of
Aggie diamond fans took another
turn for the worse when Marshall
Shaw, sensational sophomore right
hander from Ennis who was rated
a “top-notcher” as a moundsman in
the conference last year, broke his
wrist in a baseball game just prior
to the Christmas holidays. Until
very recently Shaw’s wrist has
shown little response to medical
treatment and Aggie coaches are
doubtful if he will be able to pitch
effectively for some time.
“Bob” Scheer, right-handed let-
terman from Marshall, will likely
carry the brunt of the work on the
mound, should Shaw’s wrist fail to
heal.
Good Catchers
The receiving end will be well
cared for with “Bob” Garvey of
Livingston and Andrew Golasinski,
Houston, both veterans in the art,
probably dividing time. Garvey is
a letterman and Golasinski is a
squadman of two year’s experience.
George Carpenter, Houston, who
handled the initial sack satisfac
torily last season and won his letter
at that position, is- likely to be
shifted to the hot corner to replace
Pampell while W. W. Mitchell, let
terman in right field last year and
Varsity Reserve
Defeats Fish In
Fast Night Game
The fast-stepping freshmen pro
teges of Coach Klepto Holmes tast
ed the bitter dregs of defeat for
the first time Saturday night at
the Memorial Gymnasium court
when they bowed to the varsity re
serves by a score of 42-20, in a
scoring spree in which more exper
ienced players of Coach Reid held
the upper hand throughout. With
no one man starring, the smootner
passing and greater accuracy in
hitting the basket enabled the var
sity second stringers to gain a
lead at the start of the game which
was never threatened by the fresh
men.
Joe Merka, of Bryan, was pro
bably the most outstanding player
on the court. His uncanny ability
to break up freshman passes and
his towering height at center en
abled his team mates to keep the
ball in their own territory while
“Jocko” Roberts, guard from Ter
rill, and E. S. Horn, forward from
Dallas, scored 13 and 11 points re
spectively. The other points were
well distributed among the rest of
the team.
Nervousness hindered the fresh
men noticeably as they fumbled
frequently and lost the ball in cri
tical positions a number of times.
Behind 19-11 at the intermission
they came back strong at the be
ginning of the last half, playing a
much improved brand of ball, but
the lead the varsity reserves had
could not be lessened, and when the
game ended the lead was still
mounting.
who formerly played at the short
field post, will probably be shifted
back to that position to strengthen
the infield with veteran material.
Carpenter was a candidate for third
base until he was shifted to first
last season.
Joe Miller, squadman from Prin
ceton, and E. Weber, freshman
numeralman from Nixon, will pro
bably lead the fight for the vacancy
left by the shifting of Carpenter.
Walter “Sweetie” Davis, Fort
Worth, twice a letterman at sec
ond base, is slated to fill the posi
tion for the third time.
Fill Bell’s Vacancy
Finding a man capable of re
placing “Beau” Bell in left field
will present a task which is likely
to completely surpass the means
of Coach Higginbotham. Bell led
the conference sluggers with a .470
batting average for the season last
year, and his home run in the fin
al game was the turning point
which brought the Aggie from be
hind to win the conference title. In
two of the ten conference games
played by the Maroon and White
last season Bell’s batting average
was 1000 per cent.
Veltman At Center
The middle garden will be in ca
pable hands with captain Lester
Squawk Veltman, San Antonio
slugger who was second only to
Bell in hitting last season, doing
the patroling. Veltman is also a
sensation on the bases and his field
ing leaves little to be desired.
The two remaining vacant out
field posts, the second made so by
the shifting of Mitchell to short
stop, will have as leading competi
tors “Pete” Crozier, Fort Worth;
V. C. Andrews, Bryan; and I. M.
Lowenstein, Ysleta. Crozier and
Andrews are squadmen and Low
enstein is a sophomore. A. B. Fisk,
Houston; and D. C. Alanis, Ennis;
both sophomores, are other out
field candidates.
AGGIES FALL—
(Continued from page 1)
times in quick succession, by means
)f crip-shots.
The Aggies retaliated partly by
scoring again but found themselv
es unable to further diminish the
Baylor lead. It was not long after
that when the Bruin forwards a-
gain found vulnerable spots in the
A and M defense and increased the
Baylor lead to six points, below
which it was never reduced there
after.
While the Bruin forwards found
the going fairly easy, Raymond
Strickland, elongated pivot man
and scoring ace of the Bears, could
not find the basket and his total
of field goals' was only two.
Dividing equally the scoring hon
ors for the night were Joe Moody,
Aggie forward; James and Alford
Baylor forwards; each contribut
ing ten points to his team’s score.
Lester “Squawk” Veltman, whose
absence because of an injured an
kle has been conspicuous in pre
vious games, was probably the out
standing individual in the passing
attack of the Aggies.
GRID COACHES—
(Continued from page 1)
we wish for him every success to
which he is justly entitled.”
Coach Hunt received his scroll
from “Sweetie” Davis, and it was
worded thusly: “We, the undersign
ed members of the Texas Aggie
football team, wish to express our
sincere appreciation to Coach Joel
Hunt, and we desire to state that
we consider him as one of the
ablest demonstrators and backfield
coaches. His efficiency in demon
strating the things he desired us
to do contributed immeasurably to
our successful season.”
The name of its receiver and the
score of the Thanksgiving game,
7 to 6, were engraved on the back
of each combination comb and
brush set given the players, coaches,
and “Doc” Sprague, trainer.

Owls February 16.
Should the Aggies fail to win
from either Baylor, then they will
play a “crucial” game with the
S M U Mustangs in Dallas Sat
urday night, February 6, to de
termine just who is to be the offi
cial doormat for conference cage
teams, during the 1932 season.
The Navy football officials gave
approval to recruiting prep school
stars, and arranged for the con
tinuance of the Notre Dame sys
tem of play.
Barger Holding
Men’s Class For
Insurance Exam
In order to prepare its members
for the Certified Life Underwriters
examination to be held in June, the
Houston Life Underwriters Asso
ciation is offering a course in the
fundamentals of insurance each
Tuesday evening in Houston. Pro
fessor J. Wheeler Barger of the
Department of Economics, A and
M College of Texas, is conducting
the class.
Original enrollment of thirty-
five members in November has in
creased to seventy-two at present,
making the Houston class the third
largest in the United States study
ing for this year’s examination.
The largest is the New York class,
while a Los Angeles class is slight
ly larger than the one conducted
by Professor Barger. At present
there are more than 2,000 insurance
and business men studying for this
year’s examination.
The examination is exceedingly
comprehensive, covering business
law, trusts, estates, corporation fi
nance, investments, taxation and
public finance, government, Eng
lish and sociology. Courses are of
advanced college or graduate school
calibre. The Certified Life Under
writers degree, given to those who
pass the examination, corresponds
in the field of insurance to a Cer
tified Public Accountants degree in
the field of accounting. One com
pany offers a minimum salary of
$250 per month to any of its em
ployees holding the C. L. U. de
gree.
The class roster includes 16 gen
eral or district agents, a number
of home office employees, 1 actu
ary, 1 sales promoter, 1 bank trust
officer; and several salesmen.
Horseshoe Pitching
Starting Next Term
Although regular competition
does not begin until after the start
of the second term, several organ
izations have already applied for
equipment for intramural Horse
shoe Pitching, in order to practice
for the contests.
Leagues will be formed in this
sport as they are in Intramural
Handball and other intramural
sports. There will at least four
leagues formed with five to six
teams to the league, depending on
the number of units desiring to
participate. Each organization de
siring to participate will be allow
ed a team consisting of six men.
This team will be divided into three
sets and competition will take place
as in handball and tennis.
Seven intramural medals will be
presented to the winning team.
This will allow one for each of the
six men on the team and one sub
stitute.
Publicity Director
Calls Press Meeting
Curtis Vinson, publicity director
of the college, will be in Dallas
next week where he as director of
District Five of the American Col
lege Publicity Association has call
ed a one day session of the organ
ization.
Several prominent speakers will
be on the program including Dan
Scoates, head of the Agricultural
Engineering Department of the
College. The date has been set for
February sixth.
