COTTON— (Continued from page 1) value of cotton as a raw material for manufacturing purposes. Cotton Products Included in the show will be sam ples of the raw material; various classes of seed, lint, and cotton seed products; and many products which are manufactured from cot ton which includes pyralin, micar- ta, bakelite, metallic compounds, and numerous newly developed ma terials which are becoming natio nally recognized and used. The night’s program will run in to the early hours of morning, when the gay visitors of the Ball will celebrate the climaxing events of the day; the crowning of His Highness King Cotton, in a massive pageant. Cotton Gowns Unusual in many ways, the lad ies of the court will wear the most expensive of cotton goods, made of the latest and most select mater ials. The gowns will be furnished by the Textile Institute of New York City. The complete court comprising members of the corps and their ladies, has not been selected but will be announced in a few days. Large Ball Closing the pageant, the Court and His Majesty the King, will proceed to the Cotton Ball where they will make fun and enjoy the glory of the day until a late hour. Plans for the dance are to be an nounced in a few days. Leaders Optimistic J. S. Mogford of the Agronomy Department, and Tom Drew, pres ident of the Agronomy Society which is responsible for the pro duction of the massive entertain ment, are very optimistic concern ing the day and feel that all visi tors will enjoy themselves very much. At an interview regarding the plans, Drew stated the following: “I am not able to state at present many details of the program which are yet to be completed. But re ports from the concerns working with the society in staging the ex hibition and pageant are very en couraging. I feel sure that every one attending the exhibit and the night program will have a wonder ful time.” HIGHWAY— (Continued from page 1) dents listed. According to the listing of the classes there were forty-seven freshmen, thirty-four sophomores, thirty-six juniors and sixty-seven seniors. This report compares favorably with that of last year, proportion ally, although there were more stu dents eligible in ’29-’30; however, consideration must be given to the decrease in enrollment for this year. RIFLE TEAM— (Continued from page 1) and 384, respectively. Team Improving Records of firing completed to date this season show a constant improvement of every member of the team, and having already sur passed the form which carried them to the pinnacle in the National In tercollegiate matches for the past two years, the team promises to set a new high mark for collegiate rifle teams. ‘The team record for the past two seasons and to date this year is far superior to that of any team in the history of the matches. Since the start of the 1931 season only one contest has been dropped by the regular ten man A and M team. That loss was in the opening week this year and was probably due to nervousness on the part of the team. Two five man affairs were in favor of the opponents last season, one with the West Point Military Academy and the other in the Hearst trophy competition, the latter being won from A and M by a scant three points. NEW GRID— (Continued from page 1) the Registrar, the Fiscal depart ment, and the Faculty Exchange post office, as well as other execu tive offices, will be situated a quar ter of a mile east of the present Academic building and will face the new Houston-Dallas highway. Thirty-five thousand dollars have been appropriated for the planting of trees and shrubs, sidewalks and other landscape features and which will be completed as the buildings are put up. The many details re garding the new buildings have not been completed to date. TWO MEN— (Continued from page 1) ed they make the required total of fifty-four during both semesters. G. W. Davis, senior, Troop A Cavalry, and Fred Gremmol, soph omore, Pettus, Texas, tied for hon ors with forty-four points each. In the junior class E. C. Buie, Grand view, and S. E. Burton, Valentine, made forty-two points each. High est honor among the freshmen goes to M. V. Stuteville of Cisco, with a total of thirty-nine. Considering the students on a percentage basis, fifty-three per cent of the one hundred and eighty- four made twenty-five to twenty- nine points inclusive, forty-three per cent made thrity to thirty-nine points inclusive, and three per cent made forty to forty-four points. According to the different schools there were approximately sixty Agricultural students, eighty- sevent Engineering students, sev en Science, seven Liberal Arts, one Veterinary Medicine, four Indus trial and eighteen Education stu- a continuous agitation against the “wedge.” Game Safe Practically all of the changes in stituted by the rules committee were designed to make the game safer both for the offensive and defensive player. The new regula tions were carefully worked out by the members of the committee, it was said, after they had studied the report of Fielding H. Yost of the University of Michigan on foot ball deaths. The rules changes announced are summarized as follows: 1. Elimination of the “flying wedge” by requiring at least five players of the team receiving the ball to remain within 5 feet of the retaining line until the ball is ac tually kicked. 2. Players on the defense are forbidden to strike an opponent on the head, neck or face with the hand, wrist, forearm or elbow. Penalty: Half the distance to the penalized team’s goal line. 3. It will be no longer legal to use the flying block or tackle. Pen alty: Five yards. 4. The ball will be dead when any part of the carrier’s body ex cept his hands or feet, touches the ground, whether or not he is in the grasp of an opponent. Exception: Place-kick. 5. Hard substances used for thigh guards, shin guards, braces and similar equipment must be protect ed by padding. 6. Any player withdrawn from the game may be returned in any subsequent period. The team mak ing the substitution will be charg ed with “time-out,” however. Edward K. Hall, chairman of the rules committee, expressed the opinion that the new regulations will make the game safe for high school boys, as well as older play ers. zard” of Blinn college, Hilley, a forward, who led the field with 20 points to his credit. Of the twenty markers 18 of them were made in the final half of the fray, and a number of them were made in the final half of the fray, and a num- >er of them by one hand shots. Hilley was easily the outstanding man on the Blinn quintet, both de fensively and offensively. There are no “Dietzels” on the Aggie freshman five but the team is not lacking a balanced combina tion, with four men having a total of more than seventy points amas sed in the ten games played. Grif- ith Brezeale, Crockette; who al ternates at forward and center leads with 109; Bisby, whose regu lar post is that of forward, is sec- nd with 95; while Tommie Ter- ell, stockey El Paso forward has 71 and Tommie Hutto, Coachoma guard, boasts a total of 75. SWIMMING TEAM- (Continued from page 1) Water Polo Team. This event will not be considered as a part of the meet because neither Rice nor Tex as have developed a polo team. The game will be of particular inter est, because it will likely determine whether it is feasible for colleges to organize water polo teams. Although swimming was not re cognized by the athletic board as an intercollegiate sport this year, the team will continue to compete with other schools at its own ex pense. Members of the team who will make the trip are: R. R. Osburne, C. E. Reichart, J. D. Fowler, R. L. Suggs, W. S. Sinclair, T. U. Uhr, G. W. Shepherd, C. J. Charske, L. B. Cox, J. E. Cockrell, P. C. Cham berlain, R. C. Jorgensen, E. J. Moe ller, R. M. Smith, R. T. Brinsmade, C. K. Swanson, and 0. Rhodes.
