It has—in spite of the fact that the team at tames has not done its best We do insist, however, that Matty Bell —« fighting coach, a decent fellow, a' splendid gentleman and in our opinion an able if not a winning coach—has not received the support he deserved. We wont argtte the question of whether ar not -the Athletic Council acted wisely in employing a new coach—the naming of the coach W the council s bur nesa. We will grant that the council's action wss sup posed to have been kept secret until the end of the season. But— Someone on the council evidently let the information leak out! Someone couldn’t keep from whispering that “Matty Bell has bees fl^ed." And the person responsible for the announcement is deserving of having directed at him the indignation of all fhir-minded student' and sportamrtk j For five years ex-students, football enthusiasts, and sports fans of the State have been divided in their opinions as to why we weren't winning. Some attributed our losing streak to the lack of capable play ers; others wailed that the coach was to blame. Until this year—“A and M’s year to take the Conference”—the opposition has not been strong enough to demand a change of coaches. “This year, said those who blamed the coach for not winning, “we’ve got material equal to any team in the conference.” j- ‘ Let us presume that the above is true. Let us presume that the loss of Fowler, Randow, and Martin did not weaken the team and that the mfcn played the best ball they were capable of playing. Let us pre sume that sot two but that all of the games during the season had .. been lost! Under theee condittons (if they had existed) we still insist j tLf.i Matty Bell would have deserved at least civil treatment. Aad w* still insist that the person responsible for the prematuie announcement of Bell’s replacement committed an unpardonable mis ' rr Ul;e. We will refrain from further comment.

The explana tion given by some members of the faculty, and others doaely connected with football at A aad M is that Norton of Centenary gave the Athletic Council until last Friday to sign the contract as there were two other colleges try ing to sign him up. The Council signed the! contract at the time be cause if Norton was to be had at and M, they had to act at that time.

A. M. WALDROP and Company Bryan and College Appreciation ’ A and M students, particularly upperclassmen that have passed through the stages of improvement in Mess Hall service, should be grateful to Mr. Duncan and his assistants. This week we have heard an unusual number of comments made by students expressing their appreciation for the sew method that will be used in serving Thanks giving dinners. i I . May we point out that this is only one of many improvements. The food has been much better this year, both as to quality and as to the way it has been prepared. Extra labor and expense will also be incurred by serving milk ia bottles; new kitchen equipment has been purchased; a hat rack has been placed under each chair in the mesh hall. In fact, every improvement within the means of the officials has been effected for the benefit of the students. When two thousand cadets have been as pleased as they have this year, it is indeed a recommendation for those in charge of the col lege subsistence department.
