*09 «ew two games each U make
the number of battles equal to the
nunibbr of years of play.
This great apectade started
thirty-nine year, ago when “Var-
.iyt”, as Texa. was then known,
and “College” aa A and M was call
ed, met on the grid-iron for the
first time. Little did the players
in that game and the email crowd
of mine three hundred realise that
they were starting a pree
that would lead up to one of the
moot traditional and eolorfal ath
letic ohent. of the whole year for
the Smthwest, but year by year
tradition and glory wore added to
that stent until it has now grown
to a thing looked forward to from
the time the final gun shoots end
ing one game and adding .noth« r
niche to football history until the
time when the opening whistle is
blows the next year.
For the first seventeen games,
it was the usual thing for “Var
sity” to taka over the game to
their majority of wins came dur
ing this period when they took
fourteen of the 17 games, two end
ing in ties and the Aggies win
ning the other in 1902 by taking
the second game of a series of two
for that year by a score of 12-0.
In 1909, things begin to happen
for the Aggies. They won two
games daring that year in rip id
succession and then in 10, took the
third successive game by a 14-8
margin. The game in 1911, whan
Texas boat 8-0, caused such a high
point of student feeling and tar-
bulence which had been growing
continually, that a three year truce
was cafled between the two sides.
The next game and the first to
he played at College Station took
place in 1918, and although the
Longhorns were highly favored to
win. the “Fighting” Aggies took

Gone from Texas A and M ped
agogical horizon is Gathright Hail,
the “Bat Roost" where many ca
dets spent their happiest days. The
building wes rased during the sum
mer when its condition became so
weak as to be dangerous
Gathright Hall was the origins!
ilding that the started the in
stitution in September 1878. Tex
as A and M was established by
act of the Legialature of Texas on
April 17, 1871. The location of the
College was selected on June 20,
1872, and the first faculty was ap
pointed July IS, 1878, with The-
8. Gathright as President.
Gathright Hall, which was named
in honor of the College's first
president, was constructed at a
eoet of £18.500. It served aa the
a cost of $25,000. The nineteenth
annual catalogue of the College,
published in 1894, carried this des
cription of Gathright Hall:
“The building stands on the
highest point of the grounds. It is
four stories high, made of brick,
with mansard roof and towers. The
rooms are all of high pitch and well
ventilated. There are forty-five
rooms in the building.jj On the
fourth story nearly half the space
to occupied by the large room as
signed to the drawing department.
Two society halls, the armory, and
one small room are also on this
floor. On the third floor are the
section rooms of tha departments
of English, languages, horticul
ture and botany, the library and
reading room, end eight rooms oc
cupied by officers of the College.
On the second floor are the Pres
ident’s office, the business office,
the book store, the chemical lab-
'oratory and section room, the mu
seum, the agricultural section
room, English section room, the
office of the Director of the Agri
cultural Experiment Station, and
the janitor’s room. On the first
floor are chemical private labora
tory, furnace room, section room,
instrument room of the Depart
ment of Civil Engineering and
Physics, store room, dark room, ;
mathematical section room, guard
room, commandant's •room, and ?
section room end laboratory of the
Department of Veterinary Science.
There are broad halls running
through each story at right angles
to each other, and two sets of
stairways, one in the middle, the
other at the end of the building."
At one time Gathright Hall
boused the Extension Service of
the College. Its last active uee
waa a dormitory for the band. Dur
ing part of the 1932-38 session,
the student post-office waa locat
ed in the back end of the building.
Many prominent ex-students of
A and M vigorously protested the
demolition of the building. The
following paragraphs are except*
taken from an editorial appearing
in “The Texas Aggie”.
“The end of Gathright Hall, old
est building on the campus, brings
vividly to mind the rapfcHy chang
ing character of A and M’s phy
sical plant Only Pfcoffer and Ana-
tin Halls remain of the really old
and original buildings on the cam
pus. They are landmarks; revered
statutes of an earlier day. If mem
ories and evidence of the anti
quity of the institution are to ba
retained, some thought must be
given to the preservation of his
torical aspects of the campus."

not win at Collage Station. Not to
be outdone, however. University
started a like custom the next year
by trouncing the Fanners 21-7 and
havt also kept up thto record with
only one exception. In 1922, King
Gill forward passed the Aggies to
14-7 victory la Austin but then.
ia order to even up the score, Tex
as came back the next year, and
laid down the Aggies 8-0 when
they covered a fumble in back of
the Cadets’ goal line. Besides these
two exceptions, the teams have
been playing a “you take thto one"
and “I’ll take that one" affair.

FOR YOU I
C IGARETTES are made of tobac
co, wrapped in paper, and they
may look alike; but that doesn’t mean
that they are alike. ' ’ .
Chesterfield Cigarettes are not like
other cigarettes. The tobacco is not
like the tobacco used in other ciga
rettes. It is mild, ripe—not harsh,
or strong.
1 Then again, Chesterfields caste bet
ter. They are seasoned in the right
way with the right kind of Turkish
Tobacco. There is nothing flat or
tasteless about them.
You’re telling me ’They Satisfy”!
