OH HI FI ENIER IN
Local Registrar And Dean To
Head Industrial Science Di
vision At Iowa College.
Dean Charles E. Friley, dean of
the School of Arts and Sciences
since 1924 and registrar of the col
lege, has announced his acceptance
of the post as dean of the Indus
trial Science Division at Iowa State
College, to be ef%ctive September
1. The position was tendered Dean
Friley by President H. M. Hughes,
of the Iowa institution, when he
paid A & M. a brief visit several
weeks ago, and Dean Friley’s an
nouncement of acceptance was
made early this week.
Expressing regret at leaving the
institution with which he has been
connected as student and faculty
member since 1910, Dean Friley
explained that the offer from Iowa
was one which he felt that he could
not reject.
Born In Ruston
Friley was born at Ruston, La.,
but came to Texas when three
years of age and to Bryan when
five. He was graduated from Bryan
high school in 1903 and from the
Sam Houston State Normal in
1905. He attended Baylor univer
sity from 1905 to 1907 and follow
ing several years as a teacher, he
entered A and M in 1910.
In 1910 he was awarded a B. S.
degree in agricultural education at
A & M, this being the first such
degree to be awarded by the col
lege. He was named secretary of
the college in 1911, a post which
was changed to registrar in 1913.
Degree At Columbia
In 1923 Dean Friley received his
M. A. degree from Columbia, and
Simmons university conferred an
honorary LL. D. degree upon him
in 1929. He is now doing work to
ward his doctorate at the Univer
sity of Chicago, where he was a
professor of education during the
summer of 1931.
While at A & M Dean Friley
has served upon a number of ad
ministrative committees and has
held various other posts of impor
tance. He is at present chairman
of the A & M athletic council and
secretary of the Southwest Ath
letic Conference. He has been a
member of the Texas committee on
accredited schools since 1917 and
is a member of the Association of
Collegiate Registrars, of which he
was president in 1929.

Fifteen letters, the largest num

The Aggieland Orchestra has
just signed a fourteen weeks con
tract with The Galvez Hotel to
play for them during the summer
months. The orchestra will be un
der the direction of Podge Reed,
pianist, and will give concerts dur
ing the dinner hours and at dances
on Saturday nights.
The Aggieland has the reputa
tion of being one of the best col
lege dance orchestras in the South,
having attained their rating only
through persistent work and prac
tice. They made quite a reputation
for themselves during the Christ
mas holidays playing over the
state. Several years ago they were
contracted by The Mallory Line,
playing for their Cuban trips.
The Aggieland will play a war
dance at the End o’ Main dance
hall in Houston, May 14th oppo
site Curtis Smith and his band.
Ranking orators of the student
body, chosen in preliminary try
outs held recently, will compete
for the annual P. L. Downs ora
torical award at the Assembly Hall
Thursday evening, C. O. Spriggs,
professor of public speaking and
coach of the debating team has an
nounced. The declamations will
start at 8 o’clock.
Five contestants who have been
chosen for the finals are J. L. R.
Bergendahl, San Antonio; H. N.
Irvine, Fort Worth; B. L. Delleney,
Denton; J. W. Wells, Aransas Pass;
J. E. Gaston, Henderson. Alternate
to speak in the absence of the can
didates, is R. T. Brinsmade, Mexico
City.
The annual contest is sponsored
each year by Colonel P. L. Downs,
Temple, a graduate of A and M
in 1879, who has sponsored the con
tests since 1925. Colonel Downs
will be chairman of the contest
Thursday evening.
Although there are two former
winners of the Downs award now
in the student body, I. A. Handler,
Galveston, 1931 victor, and W. O.
Alexander, Gulf, 1930 winner, nei
ther of them will be eligible for
the contest because of a rule which
prohibits previous winners com
peting a second time.
Other winners since 1925 are H.
B. Simpson, Gallatin, 1924; C. H.
Quereau, San Antonio, 1926; Rich-
ai'd H. Jones, Galveston, 1927; Ivan

high in the Southwest track and
field meet in Houston on May 13
and 14, the Aggie thinly clads will
be given a chance to prove a thing
or two when they tangle with Rice
Institute’s Owls and the Steers of
Texas University in a triangular
meet Saturday afternoon in Aus
tin.
This meet, which will be the last
of any kind before the conference
tie-up on Rice field, is certain to
be the outstanding one of the sea
son, either dual or triangular. It
brings together three of the lead
ing contenders for the crown this
season, each being particularly
strong in some events and not
glaringly weak in any. All three
teams have sprinters worthy of
recognition. Rice and Texas are
particularly dangerous in the mid
dle distances, but the Aggies are
due to place. Morris, Aggie hurd-
dler from Waxahachie, is virtually
certain to place in the hurdle races
if not to win one, while Billimek
and McVey should take at least
one place in the other hurdle race.
In the field events A & M holds
a slight edge in the shot-put and

Frequent miscues and failure to
connect in the pinches cost the
champion Aggies a well pitched
game as the Rice Owls took ad
vantage of the “breaks” and tallied
three times on Kyle field Tuesday
afternoon. The final score was 3
to 1 in favor of the feathered tribe,
although the Aggies clouted
“Smokey” Klaerner for five base
blows while only three could be
garnered by the “Birds” off of
'Scheer’s delivery.
The Aggies took an early lead
in the second inning when Carpen
ter was safe at first on a fielder’s
choice, went to second on a passed
ball and finally stole third. “Moon”
Golasinski, Houston boy who han
dled the receiving for the cham
pions, then sent a clean single over
second base, scoring Carpenter.
Veltman Walked
Another threat to count was
made by A & M in the fourth af
ter Captain Lester “Squawk” Velt-
an walked, went to third on Car
penter’s single to right, but was
left on base as the next two men
went by way of the strikeout
route.
The fifth was dormant concern
ing Aggie threats to score but the
willows again returned to action
early in sixth.
Fischer opened the inning with
a ripping double to left, went to
third on Veltman’s hard drive to
Enck on second. When a score was
apparently sure Fischer was tossed
out as Klaerner fielded Carpenter’s
sacrifice bunt, and thus ended the
last scoring threat for the Aggies.

hand in all but two innings, those
in which the three tallies were ac
