Sport Sidelights
By W. J. Faulk
The seasons are ended but the
memories linger unto eternity, as
the final page is turned on Aggie
sports for the 1931-32 session. Post
mortems may be in order but the
fact remains that the games have
been played, and are now listed as
history.
Championships were lacking in
the past nine months, but a review
of all varsity sports reveals that
although the going at times was
rough, the Aggies at length emerg
ed with better than a .500 percent
age for the year’s work. Four of
Aggieland’s “fightingest” captains
have donned their togs for the last
time as college athletes, and are
listed with those of former years
who although they were sometimes
faced with certain defeat, the odds
against them overwhelming, their
spirit and fight never waned.
Captain Carl Moulden, the Cisco
boy, who was known as the fight
ing captain of the “Fighting Ag
gies,” started the year off in grand
style when he lead the Maroon and
White grid machine through its
most successful season in four
years.
Followed by Charlie Beard, the
diminutive lad who hails from
“Cowtown,” the same spirit was
consistently displayed on the Hard
woods, and again an Aggie leader
was dubbed the “scrappingest of
the scrappers.”
Then came the baseball race and
Captain Lester “Squawk” Veltman,
San Antonio’s contribution, who
proved another sterling pilot who
never failed to give his best that
his team might win.
Last but not least is Percy Mims,
who also calls Ft. Worth home.
Too much cannot be said of the
efforts expended by Captain Percy
and his men on the cinder paths
and in the field events. Rated at
the start of the season as competi
tion for only the cellar candidates
in the race for track honors, hours
and hours of continuous prepara
tion were rewarded, in a manner,
when they rose to be contenders
for the crown in the conference
meet, beaten only by Rice and Tex
as.
very doubtless that he cannot still
do so.
Each year there is a growing in
difference among students to fail
to pay the student activities fee.
The trouble is most conspicuous
in the upper classes than among
freshman students and sophomores.
And the sad part of it all is the
fact that the greatest deficit seems
to lie in the senior class.
Is it true that students of this
institution have failed to care
whether they are present at ath
letic events on Kyle field? Cer
tainly if those who refuse to pay
this fee would stop and think the
matter over, it is entirely probable
that they would see it from a dif
ferent angle.
For fifteen dollars the student
is admitted to 32 athletic contests
on Kyle field, the Longhorn, year
book, and the Battalion, weekly
newspaper and monthly comic mag
azine are also included.
Each of these items figured sep
arately would far surmount that
total of fifteen dollars by approxi
mately an equal sum. So why not
pay the activity fee ? Think it over
during the summer months and be
sure you fall in with the under
classmen in paying student activ
ity fees.

In the best families (or any others for the matter)
that doesn’t happen nowadays. Hence the United States
Air Corps offers some attractive inducements to you
college students for whom it has built a $10,000,000 in
stitution at San Antonio, Texas, where they teach you
to fly and while you are learning:
Pay you a salary of $75.00 per month. Pay your
living expenses.
Supply you (free, of course) with snappy, tailor-
made, sky blue uniforms.
Grant you the social and military privileges of
potential officers.
Pay your traveling expenses from your home to the
new field at San Antonio. 700 Men are taken in each
year. The course requires a year to complete and in
cludes over 200 hours of solo flying. Those who stay
the full year are commissioned as Lieutenants in the
Air Corps Reserve.
If you don’t like the training you may resign at any
time: For Example:
Should you stay three months and then resign you
will receive $225.00 cash, your round trip expenses from
your home to San Antonio, and about 50 hours of solo
flying.
The service and associations of the Air Corps gives
its members a very real distinction and a very notice
able breadth and poise.
If you have applied and are ready to go, we have
compiled information and tips giving you inside angles
and dope that will be invaluable when you arrive at the
field. If you haven’t applied yet then by all means get
our information. We tell you the entrance procedure
and certain twists that make your getting in easier and
quicker. The information written by men who have
been through the school covers all points from begin
ning to end that you are interested in knowing. This
information cannot be obtained elsewhere; it is com
plete. Nothing else to buy. This price is $1.00 or sent
C. O. D. if you desire.

Before we close this rambling-
bull there is one suggestion we
would like to make, and it is felt
that this suggestion will be wholly
in order. Previous to the confer
ence meet there was much talk of
sending “Honk” Irwin to the Na
tional Intercollegiate meet in Chi
cago, in June. “Honk” was expect
ed to win easily over the field at
the meet, but fate decreed other
wise and he failed. That is no rea
son that he cannot redeem himself
and we are thoroughly confident
that he will if sent to the meet, and
probably will win a trip to the
Olympic tryouts. He has proven
that he can put the shot far past
the conference record and it is
