The Former Students’ Associa
tion of the college disbursed in
loans for the first term of the
1932-33 session a total of $12,900.
according to C. E. McQuillen. sec
retary of the association. This sum
fails considerably below the loans
of previous yean. .
Applications for loans were not
accepted until .after August 1, and
the passing of that dead-line
marked the beghmilf of a flood
of requests which would have ne
cessitated the leaning of $100,000
had that amount been available for
distribution. The present economic
situation made it necessary for
many students who anticipated
continuing or beginning their col
lege educations to seek financial
aid. and the failure to find such aid
no doubt prevented a large number
from enrolling this year, McQuil
len said.
One hundred and fifty-six stu
dents made notes with the associa
tion for sums varying between
small amounts, ard the maximum
of $100 00. No notes were made tor
more than $100.00. Seniors and the
men who had previously been fi
nanced by the association were giv
en preference over the other ap
plicants in the distribution of the
t loaruL_
The new system of monthly pay
ments of the maintenance fee in
augurated by the college at the
bvifinning of the present session
will, Mr. McQuillen fears, deprive
the Former Students’ Association
of its most prolific source of col-
iHetipn on loons. In the past, the
men who had mads notes with the
association succeeded in paying
them off, to a large extent, with
the money earned from student
labor. It ii anticipated that under
the new system most of the stu
dent labor payroll will go toward
meeting the monthly payments of
the mainteuaM o fee and that very
little of it will be used in the pay
ment of notes. If such a condition
fehonld develop the association will
be unable to make any loans next
term, Mr. McQuillen stated, as new
toanj are made possible largely
through the prompt payment of
the old ones.

The swiftly charging, powerful
line of Tulane University, fighting
harder because their captain. Noll
ie Felts, was ousted on cbargto a
professionalism in baseball severs
years ago, proved to much of ar
obstacle to the lighter and lest
experienced forward wall of the
Texas Aggies, which was al-o
weakened by injuries,
20,000 people watched the Green
Wave open its 1932 grid season
in New Orleans Saturday with a
smashing 26-14 victory over Texas
A and M. The Tulane line seemed
to be an avalandhe of deatradtive
power as it cleared the way for
Don Zimmerman, the “Flying
Dateham#", and his scintillating
backfield cohorts. Unlike last
year when the Aggies held Tulane
to a 7-0 score on a muddy field,
and outplayed Tulane by making
more firqt downs and twice as
much yardage, the field was dry
and the weather practically xh .il
for football. The Wave marked
up 18 first downs to 7 for the
Texans, aad lost 67 yards in penal
ties while the Aggies lost only 16.
The three-year Southern Confer-
ence champions, undefeated in the
South since 1928, used straight
running plays to score their four
touchdowns. The absence of Dal
rymple and Hayntoy AB-A^dfllaa
ends last year, and the watchful
ness of the Aggie defence, kept
them from using their vaunted
aerial attack with apy telling ef
fect.
- The Aggies took to the air to
■core their first touchdown while
the second was the direct result of
Hewitt’s sensations! 40-ysrd run in
the last quarter.
Twice were the Aggies held for
downs within the shsdow of the
Tulane goal, while Captain Jimmy
Aston and Frenchy iKomingue
made a mad effort to score, but
the strong Tulane line held intact
With the exception of tho two
sophomore ends who took the
places of Haynes and Dalrympie
Tulane’s line was the same that
played against Southern California
laat year.
The first quarter might be cun-
ride red a contest between Tulane’s
Flying Dutchman, Don Zima
man, and the Aggie* Flying
Frenchman, Clifford Dormngue,
but with the help of a more power
ful line Zimmerman came out on
top.

tore through the lighter Kne and
around the ends of the Bearcats
to mark up 20 points in the first
half. From th#,very start it was
apparent that Sam Houston was
fighting a losing battle, but Coach
Jim Jones’ fighting *€010 did not
stop until the Isst whistle had
blown. The Aggies made 17 first
downs against four for the Bear
cats, and gained .T>5 yards from
scrimmage lo only 67 for the Gate.
The heavier Aggie team was
•low to get nried, and the first
few 1 mihutea of the game was
played in their own territory, dur
ing which time the fighting Teach
ers made desperate efforts to score
•gpinst the Farmers. The Aggie
offense tore the lighter Bearcat
ine to pieces after the team got
under way, and resorted to running
plays to scere all four touchdowns.
*FrradhjH Domingue and “Dub”
Williams furnished most of the
thrills for A. and M. Frenchy
piayed only during part of the first
half, but stayed in long enough to
score tare touchdowns. Getting
through the Bearcat line behind
i”1 fret in erference, he twisted
snd slipped through the Teachers’
serondanrilefense for long gains.
Uaptain Jimmy Aston found the
renter of the line good for a few
yards on each try. During the sec
ond half the wide end runs and off
tackle plays by Dub Williams kept
the Bearcats guessing
Other Aggu hacks who deserved
mention were Fete Hewitt, who

one made last Saturday againet
Tulane. little Jack Stringfellow.
Rue Barfield, Muggins Fowler.
Henry Graves, and Bill Kimbrough.
The touchdown Combination of tbe
first part of the game waa re-
moved at the half and an almeet
entirely new team was run in.
Though the Bearcats fought a
losing battle all the way through. |
they boasted probably tbe best de
fensive man on the field in Shields,
l$# pound right end from Trinity.
He was in every play that came
by his end and very little ground
was mad* around this man unless
several Aggies took him out of the
play. Probably the longest consist

raify in tbe first quarter when the

stop on tho Aggie 20-yard line.
After a series of line plunges
Frenchy Domingue carried the ball
arownd right end for 12 yards and
the touchdown. The try for extra
point was unsoceeeaful.
Although the Bearcats fought

danger and the end aew another
