Hubbard, gigantic 276 pound man mountain, smiled at these words and stated that football was ‘ ADMISSION 25c AJXEAiDLr HALL (his main interest and that since he was quitting the actual play- i ing, he was anxious to get in and develop some of the younger play ers and to show them how to play the game. *T have played eight years of professional football now, and althoagh 1 had one of my best seasons this last year, I know that I cannot play forever,” he said. 'T have learned lots from the games where real, smart, and hard football is played and new I want to use my knowledge to train the young men who have hopes of going places in football.” Wants Students' Aid “Of course”, Norton began, “we cannot be expected to do wonders and to work alone. We want the aid and support of the entire stu- j dent body. It is hard to step in a new place and start right at first by setting the woods on fire. It will take the aid and cooperation of every person interested in A and M and with this support, we have plans of giving the Aggies athletic teams that they can juatly boast and be proud of.” Hubbard added that they would have charge of the boys up until the time for the starting whistle to blow but then for 60 miautee, the fate of the team would be in the hands of the students and players. Norton and Hubbard will stay at the Aggieland Inn during the month they are here. Hubbard’s wife and four year old boy will ar rive to stay the later part of this week, but Norton’s wife and 16- year old daughter will not be able to' leave their home at Shreveport except merely on week-end visits. Manning Smith, Centenary All- American quarterback this year who will be an assistant coach, will not be able to leave Centenary because of his studies but will visit A and M on the week-ends to be come acquainted with the players.

It rarely “seconds the motion" of professors who give out the grades, he said, and makes no distinction between difficult and easy courses. He contended that the society should blacklist those courses which require a small amount of mental effort and which are notor iously easy. He also condemned the grading system in general. “Phi Beta Kappa can adopt an independent basis of eligibility— one of iU own devising and under its own control,” he declared. “It can demand from all camL lates an idea or two, instead of an ability to reproduce on call a few acts from a menUl store accumulated during undergraduate life.” Dr. Harrison C.
