“E” Examinations
Of possible interest to thooe
students who will be taking
**E” examinations during the
next few weeks is the fact
that the status of these ex
aminations will not be that
of the former “D" quizzes
but of special examiaationn.
This means that students will
receive as term grades the
grade they make on these
examinations and by this
system of grudiwg it will he
possible for students to make
grade points in eodrsea which
they had a previous grade of
numerical value between six

the I-onghoms at the beginning of
the season, the Aggies pulled one
upset after another to finish in
third place. Ha44 luck in their
early season games wpa all that
kept the last engufement with Tex
as from being a (hie deciding one.
Had it beea that tray, the last tus

would not have ended with the
one-sided score of 51-20 an favor

It is easy to pick the forwards

because of his scoring ability, and
the other for his all-around lea

Jack Gray of Texas was not ap*

of only once early in the season,
